Reinforced Concrete Columns

Hey, I just started learning Revit recently, in my latest project I have been tasked to insert some reinforced concrete columns but I couldn't find any concrete columns in my Revit program so I tried to search for a family online, but unfortunately, I found nothing related to concrete columns so I was wondering are concrete columns supposed to be installed by default into Revit and there was an error in my installation process, or are they not included and I need to get them Online(if so how can I find the family I'm looking for).

 

Thank you for taking the time to read my post

Structural columns are standard in Revit and can host rebar.

The rebar you have to add "manually"

Can you elaborate on manually, where can I get the file from, I can't find it online, if you can send a download link that would help a lot.

there was an error in my installation process

 

It is by default in the structural template or here -- C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT 2020\Family Templates\English (or other language) but i advise to uninstall and reinstall revit again to get rid of the error

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program but still, I can't find the same files that you showed in your picture, when I try to load families from Revit the folder seems empty but when I open with file explorer I find .rft files.

it could be your templates and libraries are not installed, you can refer to article on how to install and see if helps. thanks

Hey! I had the same problem then I asked one of colleague about it on linkedIN. He told me that these libraries are not included in Revit 2021 and adviced me to download to Revit 2018. He shared one of his Revit file that had concrete column, I simply copied that material in my project.
