I really appreciate Balkan architect, everyone should be like him always learning and adapting to new ways of life. I am seeing that you have actually put in some effort to pronounce beam properly. We should never get stuck on things especially various architects around the world who don't even have an idea about the BIM culture. YOU SIMPLY ROCK BRO!!

[@ezabala]

Wow! Great video!! I'm a structural engineer and this is very exciting to me!

[@thierryuwitonze6615]

Thank you Balkan you are making Revit easy and easier every day.... we owe you big!!!

[@JesusPerez-hx4ws]

REVIT 2019 ITS AMAZING BRO, YOU ARE THE BEST

[@bertveldhuizen8699]

Thank you Balkan Architect! I'm a General Contractor but I'm starting to dabble in Revit lately, looking to learn so I can slowly get away from the hard physical labor involved in my current job. I'm thinking of getting into Revit Structural and especially steel structures, this steel connections add on is great!

[@arbaazkhan3600]

Bro learn tekla

[@drawmepleasemichael959]

Thank you once again. Your tutorials are always good. I learnt something today.

[@Crazy1793]

Hey firstly great tutorial on show how Revit connection works, thank you for showing how it works before I head out and purchase it for myself. Secondly, as a structural engineer, it was really funny seeing you place unless connections beams and columns. I could have made drinking game from the amount of times you said "structural engineer" Lastly, I really like your little demonstration/showing of Revit 2019 and yes I got existed seeing that I can add joint connections in my models. Keep up the good work, cheers

[@highflyer6454]

It was so clear to understand. Thanks a lot & Good luck with your career !

[@raphusnet1031]

Thanks for this brand new steel tutorial!

[@snoopy70119]

Another great video! Thanks Balkan Architect!!!

[@griffedediamantclandutonne8165]

Hi! This tutorial helps a lot to understand how to create connections with steel structures so thank you for this tutorial !! However I have a question about connections: I am working on this subject and I would like to know if it's possible to create connections with wood frameworks. I tried with the same method than the video but it didn't work...

[@GierlangBhaktiPutra]

2 years but this video is still relevant. If you are using Revit 2021, Structure and Steel Tab is hidden if you set your discipline into "Architecture" when opening up your Revit for the first time. You can show these tabs by going into File > Options > User Interface. Under "Tools and Analyses" check the tabs you want to show. Then hit OK.

[@Johan-ly3xz]

Thank U

[@kabijoshi5949]

Nice video/s. Thanks for mentioning structural stuff. Connections are to be different at corner depending on what fixity level is desired. For and architect, its great.

[@tbone12211975]

Dude, thank you so much! I couldn’t figure out how to load the connections. It’s kind of dumb to have a tiny obscure arrow to load important stuff, but maybe that’s just me.

[@shahensha786]

this made my life so easy, thank you so much bro

[@chilombe]

Might be helpful to say that you should turn on the structural connections options in VG, or else you will not see any connections in 3D views.

[@user-bi8yc5sg2u]

Hey! First of all thanks for all of your tutorials, they've saved a lot of my time! But I have a problem - when I make a connection between steel beams/columns I can't make this connection visible! Revit just write that "The shapes for medium and fine detail levels of connected element are inconsistent". I've already tried to change visibility settings and detail level, but it didn't help! What should I do? Revit 2019.

[@marianmudrik2309]

This is what i wanted, thank you very much

[@markosthemba1599]

I love your videos man, your explain nicely.

[@scotthouldieson6384]

Thank you for the tutorial! Any idea how to attach channel (say C8) to beam (say W10) with a clip angle? Revit gives me a warning "The shapes for medium and fine detail levels of connected element are inconsistent". The beams are shown as connected, but no clip angles are produced.

[@jasonbendijo5731]

This was so helpful!! Thank you

[@gnaneswarreddy9551]

great work. i am really happy with this

[@manuelnguindo8489]

Thank you for this tutorial.

[@GrowStronger25]

“We get these… lil two hooks. It looks, quite cool.” 😂😂

[@camilaibacache1606]

Nice tutorial , thanks for sharing

[@matthewclarke7079]

For when you loaded in the foundation how do you get that whole list of stuff, I don't have that

[@KlavierSynth]

Just amazing!! Thank you so much!

[@travisnguyen1475]

Hi Balkan Architect , what kind of software did you use to calculate structure load? I mean before you design structure in revit structure and analyze.

[@GuanitaLinda]

AWESOME ! IT IS CLEAR AND CONCRETE

[@HammadKhan-df8uv]

Great as usual 👌

[@computeraiddesignstourshow5927]

Hi Mr. Nice job. I have problem with revit, why they dont have connection of light gauge steel while its wide area for nowdays

[@joedestefano3107]

I think your tutorials are very helpful and cant thank you enough but I have a quick question. I am still a student and designed a building without a real structural plan is it possible to add a structure to an existing model

[@muhammadturi4387]

sir i have downloaded my revit from autodesk student version but when i look for different types of doors and windows (LOAD FAMILY) it show me empty folder ,, i did reinstall revit again but same problem

[@JoshAlIen]

Just FYI - The reason you had an error with the colum/beam connection on the portal frame structure was because the column needs to be rotated 90degrees (column parallel with the beam). The column should always be parallel to the beam so that it works within it's strongest axis.

[@vodanh34]

Oh you was right :D Only focus on flow of lession so I did not found that reason.

[@nhanvohoang8935]

awesome mate, tks for sharing

[@daniyaalmaneveld3779]

Thanks BA, much appreciated. I am having an issue with loading base plate connections but I found some in a RVT file and not RFA. It seems like I need to copy them in. EDIT: VISIBILITY SETTINGS LOL!

[@tito_tito_gorgorito]

Hi, cool videos ;) Can I import the structure from robot with the calculated connections?

[@jeeva5211]

Thanks for sharing knowledge 👌👍

[@carlos20111989]

hi guys, where is possible i download some families of steel structure? In my revit i've only 1 bem and 1 column type.

[@axwell1992]

You are amazing, thanks a lot !!

[@adnanmasood2258]

Hello Sir, i want to know that how we will connect tube bar first one position in the Arch and second one position leaner, how can we connect both with plate and nut bolt. I have try many time but unfortunate fail every time

[@lingeshwarans452]

This is very useful tutorial video. Thank you so much and I can't to edit modify parameter. It's hide. Can u please explain

[@---li7xb]

Always great job: It would be usefull a tutorial on cost estimation (BOM) for steel structures pleaseeeee!

[@drawmepleasemichael959]

Maurizio Q i agree

[@kernstorge]

Man, thank you so much! You always help me a lot a looot! Хвала вам!

[@kernstorge]

@Muh Hajir مهجر I don't know exactly what kinds is good for that, what is most important... But my laptop is an Inspiron 14 5000 of Dell. And the configuration: Processor Intel® Core™ i7 Windows 10, 64 bits NVIDIA® MX150 2GB GDDR5 Dedicated Graphics Card 16GB RAM Memory (1x16GB), DDR4, 2666MHz

[@kernstorge]

@Muh Hajir مهجر Mine has worked well. But nowadays there are many good computers and laptops on the market. If you can buy those for gamers, I think they are better, they usually have good hardware and good graphics performance. Don't worry about your English, and you don't have to say sorry. When necessary just say that you are learning, that your English is in progress. 😉 No one is born knowing anything, everything is learned. I wish you good luck and have a great day! 😊🤗

[@aligohar7141]

Great.. Simple And Deep...

[@user-ti9uz9yg4p]

[@kurtcabahug9496]

Hey Sir! can you teach us how to use steel connections with a steel channel cause as I observed, all steel connection were only done for I- Beams or H-Beams only... Thank in advance Sir !...

[@stephanchristinefitness3706]

Hi. Can you do a tutorial on how to present the Schedule Openings in a A3 Paper? Note , i.e. we have not provide (or model) the exact openings dimension in the layout We want it "freestyle" for presentation. Many thanks.

[@zefacademy5771]

Very helpful. Thanks.

[@danemorel9910]

Hi BA. Ive got a question. I see that once you add a connection of some sort, in realistic view, both beams & columns still are the original colour. for some reason, when i add any connection type to 2 steel members such as a miter to a column & beam, the column changes colour and i cant seem to figure out why. Please help me on this! regards

[@andyrodriguez5211]

great vid, thanks!

[@marosgalaz3764]

When you did your beam system, it appeared to place a beam on the external sketch line. My beam system never places one on the edge. What do I need to have set for this to happen?

[@luminkyaw7771]

Remove Beam System and add manually dragging new beams or use align command to move the beam...
