Wide flange shapes missing

[steve]

in R2021, where have the Wide Flange structural framing shapes gone?   Can we download them from somewhere?

I can go in and get them from r2019 but would have to manually update them.

Revit 2021 has a new tool to download the Out of the Box families as need it.

go to the insert tab and you will see the new load Autodesk family.

i see a solution offered here .. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-architecture-forum/w-and-other-structural-shapes-missing-in-rev...... that philVK had the same problem    Are you saying you downloaded the RVT2021_ENU_Imperial_Libraries.EXE file (which is the ENTIRE imperial library of families - the same one I would have downloaded with the hours-long initial install) and somehow, the W shapes appeared?    I don't want to do this unless I know this one item is there.   Seems like alot to do to link to one folder.

if I remember correctly, thru the installation process Revit asks you if you want to download all the libraries. if missed that part then you need to download and map the location manually.

Fantastic, I didn't know about that feature.     Thanks!
