Hi @Martin.EckartJLZX3 

 

You will need to build this as a custom connection using the contour tools, plates, bolts etc then put it all together

 

I have actually done a webinar on working with Timber in Advance Steel and built that connection, you will find it on this page

Hi @Martin.EckartJLZX3 

 

I don't have my.computer on at the moment but I'm.usre you can bolt through a timber bean, how have you created your timber beams?

 

The other option is to model them using the Steel beam command changing the section size to a timber section then the material to timber

Hi @Martin.EckartJLZX3 

 

Appologies, i thought this question had been posted in the Advance Steel forum, there is no restriction in Advance Steel on connecting through timber elements.

 

In Revit the steel tools will only work on elements with the structural behaviour of steel, you could maybe change the behaviour of your timber beams so Revit thinks they are steel, although im sure this will then cause other issues

I've created new timber families which have the "Material for model behaviour" set to "steel" as we do lots of timber/steel structures.

Use Shear plates for a lot of my timber/steel connections works a dream.

 Within your timber structure element (frames & Columns) change the highlighted field to steel.

I'm newish to revit and guess i'll get told off but the only way I have found to get revit to work with timber/steel connections.

Section Shape should also be : Undefined. Then it will work fine
