Revit 2018 increased its available structural connections. To use these connections, open Structural Connections Settings from Manage > Settings > Structural Settings and load the needed connections. You can also add custom Parameters to these connections.
Then, you select the Structural elements that are part of the connections. Once selected, a Generic Symbol is added tothe members until you select the desired type from its properties. A Genericl Symbol will show instead of the detailed connect graphics until you change the view detail level to Fine.

Once the connection is placed, you can modify your parameters to adjust the following Connection information.

If you think you'll be re-using the connection design, Edit Type Duplicate and rename for re-use in other locations.
