Nuts and bolts in flange

[Anonymous]

Dear Team,

Can anyone guide me how can i  put nut bolts in flange ? or how can i create ?

The first question would be why you would want to model them?

This would be a typical example of too much detail. This much detail will slow down your project and increase filesize whithout any/much benefit. Only in rare cases this would make sense.

If you would need to schedule them you could consider adding parameter(s) to schedule bolt quantities

Dear Sir,

I am making flow meter chamber and i have to show them a model for piping and equipment so i want them to show with nuts and bolts fitting. i have attached the picture all joints i have to show them with nuts and bolts. Please advise me .

Have a look at the flanges you used and see if you can model the bolts in there. Other option would be to create a separate bolt family (maybe face based) and place them separately on the flanges. You also could look for botls on websites like bimobject.com and study how they have been made, possibly edit them and use them in your project.

Hi Guys,

@Anonymous  You can download the Rvtcad Revit flange family with Nut and Bolt with the link below.

This is a fully parametric family and the purpose for creating this Rvtcad flange family is to accurately match with point cloud data as it's client requires. 

i thought maybe it would helpful for you or you can request to create any type of Revit family for free from this website www.Rvtcad.com as they are specialized in Scan to BIM Revit and Point cloud to BIM modeling.
