Joist Girder sizes.

[yph313]

Is there anywhere that I can get more Joist Girder families? The out of the box are very few and never the depths I need.  I can't model a Tilt job without the correct sizes.  What do others do?  And using what size is closest doesn't really help.  We want what the engineer designs.

Hello @yph313

Thank you for your post and welcome to the community!

As far as Girder content, what is it that you are looking for (steel, wood, etc.)?

I was able to locate the following websites, do these help you in your search?

NuBIM for Revit Joist Families

TRUS JOIST - www.bimobject.com - good website for alot of .rfa families

Thanks for your reply. I need steel joist girders. NuBIM has the same ones that Revit has. And the other sites don't seem to have any. What really needs to happen is for Autodesk to create more sizes in the joist girder Revit family, at least all of the even sizes. For now we are just going to use the wrong size and label them manually. 

Thanks again.

Hi @yph313

I apologize that the links I sent you did not provide as much content as you were looking for.

I think your request would be a great suggestion for the Ideas page for Revit, if you post your idea and send me the link I can vote up your idea.
