We had a client that when inserting structural steel frames
into Revit he noticed that the sizes were incorrect. We dug a little
deeper and found that this was an oversight by Autodesk. However, you can
simply edit the type catalog to resolve the issue. Please see the images below…
HSS – Hollow Structural Section.rfa
HSS16X4X3/16 = 1’2”?!?!
- Browse to C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT 2013\Libraries\US Imperial\Structural Framing\Steel and right click on the HSS-Hollow Structural Section.txt
- Select properties
- De-select the “Read Only” check box
- Select Apply and then OK
- Now open the HSS-Hollow Structural Section.txt
- Find the incorrect size and change it from 14.000 to 16.000.
- Save the text file as the EXACT same name.
Once you have completed the above steps the sizes should be
correct when inserting the family into a Revit model.
