Metric Tutorials - Autodesk

Steel Details
In this tutorial, you learn how to use Autodesk Revit Structure 2009 to create steel details from the structural model
(model-based), and how to create a drafting detail using the tools provided (drafting-detail). Detail drawings describe how
particular pieces of the structure go together and are typically created in the middle to later portion of the design process
after the general building shape and structural elements have been decided upon. This tutorial comprises the following
model-based steel detail exercises:
■ Welded Brace Connection
■ Bolted Angle Connection
■ Glazing Support Connection
Setting Up Section Views on Sheets
In this lesson, you begin with a framed model as the basis of your details. You cut a section in plan, revise
an existing elevation view, revise a callout view, and add these views to a sheet.
