You need to load the Structural Framing or Structural Column family into your project.

Please see the attached video for reference. You will follow the same steps for a beam.

A "profile" is typically used in staircase scenarios. A profile is essentially a 2D shape of a steel section, which is used to form the stringer of a staircase.

Here is a Youtube video for reference on a steel staircase: https://youtu.be/1Y4AWuYUU_I?si=_1ekwpaITlxKmPIf

Thanks for your reply. I tried finding family in my local pc but there was no rvt 2026 folder. I loaded "Load Autodesk Family" but still no luck. Does Autodesk have official structure family?

You need to download the libraries for Revit 2026. These libraries are country-specific.

Simply download the library for your country, and the structural families should be included within it.

 

Here is the download link:
