Any BIM objects for a Jack Post

[timXXAW4]

I'm rendering I project that calls for " Adjustable Steel Post with Saddle connection to LVL" Anyone know where I can get that as a BIM object? I've been to Revit City, BIM objects free downloads and also to Simpson but can't seem to find anything. There's nothing in the libraries that I can seem to find. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Any suggestions?

It is just a steel post with a saddle connection to LVL.  You can download the post from the OOTB library and model the saddle (a simple U shaped extrusion).

Forgive my ignorance. Where do I find the OOTB library? I'm not familiar with that one.

Out of the Box (OOTB)

This is installed with Revit and usually found when inserting a family in the Folder List

Alternatively use Load Autodesk Family and this is the online Library of the same items

Thank you, that helps immensely.

It will take time to learn all the lingo and where exactly to look with the right terminology.
