"connection creation failed" structural steel connections

[laverdadozharalibres]

Hi! I hope someone could help me on this.

Im trying to make a baseplate connection between a column and a footing (image 1) whit the add-in structural steel connections.

My problema begins when i click on the connection button and select  the 2 parts  for the connection because after waiting severas seconds i can see any geometry or warnings (like on the image 2).

Then when i change the primary element for the connection by clicking on the little blue circle it show up for some seconds the geometry i need (image 3), but past few secondse it desapears and show a warning saying "connection creation failed" (imege 4).

Does someone got that problem?

PD. If i Use just the column for the connection it just not appear any geometry or warnings at all, but Still can use the button for "modify parameters"

Hi , 

Please check your structural framing again.

It must be use only Certifies family for create steel connection.

Hi,

In the first case, when the column is the main element for the connection, are you sure the connection is not "hiding" in the foundation block?

The base plate connection is created at the column edge, without taking into count the foundation position

I look forward to your response,

Hi @hayley85

If you have Autodesk Steel Connections for Revit 2017, what family of columns and beams you use?

Are you using "certified" families?

Structural connections can be placed only on new structural framing families.

I look forward to your response,

Many thanks Taweepong and Catalin !

I was using "certified families " in US metric with those errors. Then I tried to switch to use the libery to European specific and seems like it's running now. 

Cheers
