Structural Steel fabrication Shape codes- Extend to Cold formed shapes

Structural Steel fabrication Shape codes- Extend to Cold formed shapes

Hi,

Presently within Revit there are particular shape codes/types that are available for the Detail steel modelling and also for  steel connections,    they are listed under help page subsection  cold formed.

Supported Structural Steel Shapes and Families for Steel Fabrication

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2019/EN...

 

these need to be extended to cover the range of Cold form profiles typically used with the industry,  examples of these are: 

  • Zed shape
  • Sigma Shape ( with and without lips)
  • Zeta shape.
  • Folded Angle form. ( L form)
  • U shape folded 

many of these are listed under the Revit shape codes for cold formed, but as of yet are not linked to the allow the connections to recognise them and work correctly.

without this option for these profiles, it is causing issues with connection transfer,  breaking or removing some details from shapes that are not defined etc. 

 

Thanks for considering.
