Revit 2026 missing connections

Hello, i've modeled the following connection on Revit 2025 using the tertiary plate. Im not sure weather this is the best connection template for a cold formed rafter, but it was the only i managed to get it to work at the time. 

This week i tried to model the same connection on a project that was done in Revit 2026 but i quickly noticed that the connection Single Tertiary Plate was missing , as well as some others. I want to assume that this is because the missing connections could be done using a different one? But which one would it be if anyone knows? 

 

I made a custom connection as a workaround but that is not optimal at all as you can imagine.

I have just compared my 2025 v 2026 connection list and it appears to be identical on quick glance and includes the Single Tertiary Plate.

@jay_colcombe  This is weird. When i open my connection vault i dont even have the selected category you have, only purlins & cold rolled which dont work when i try to make them into rafters. Which version are you on? Im on 26.0.4.409, 20250227_1515(x64) and i havent done the 2026.0.1 update  yet. Thats the only thing i can think of that would explain that.

Yes, I have updated 2026.0.1 but looked at the release notes and not seen anything specific for this?

 

The only thing I can think is it may be region specific and the naming convention has changed somewhat?  This is my list and I have a U.K. regional install

@jay_colcombe How would i check that and perhaps find the UK region installation? The connections i have atm do not work for that particular case. I assume you are not referring to the libraries you get from here https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/tsarticles/ts/24e0wvcXEokcfVbvUZtezv.html

Mine just come from the Standard installation of U.K. regional content as per the link your provided.

I would take a look at this KB article and reinstall them back in.
