Generic Connections
Generic connection represents connection types as a symbol and is the simplest way to add 
connection information to your model. It displays the joined and connected elements as a circle with line segments radiating out toward the connected elements.
The filled circle shows which connected member is the main one, it can be changed by picking the empty circle or by dragging the filled circle.
Connection will always show in Generic form in detail levels Medium and Coarse. Realistic connections are displayed in Fine.
Control the visibility and graphic of steel connections model objects in the Visibility/Graphics Overrides dialog under Structural Connection category and Specific subcategories:
- Anchors
- Bolts
- Hidden Lines
- Holes
- Modifiers
- Others
- Plates….
Steel Connections Types
The Steel Connections for Revit offers 130 parametric steel connections available in 8 groups. Connections are loading into projects using the Structural Connection Settings. It is important to not overburden your project with connections you do not plan to use immediately as it will increase file size.
Beam end to end
Column – Beam
General bracings
Miscellaneous
Plates at beam
Platform beams
Purlins & cold rolled
Tube connections
Connections also allow for exchange of connection information between structural engineers & steel detailers through sharing Approval Status and Images of hand drawn sketch. This information can also be transferred to ACAD-Advanced Steel.
