About this asset

This Revit annotation family provides a standard weld symbol for structural documentation, featuring a configurable leader line. This generic annotation family is designed for use in Revit structural documentation. It features a standard welding symbol graphic, complete with a field weld circle, a fillet weld triangle, and a designated space for specifying weld size, such as the 3/8 inch example shown. The family includes a multi-directional leader line, allowing for clear pointing to specific connection details on structural drawings. The lines and text are clean and follow standard drafting conventions, ensuring they integrate seamlessly into existing project templates and sheet layouts without requiring complex geometry or heavy file overhead.

The download is a 543 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

To use this family, load the RFA file into your project or project template. It functions as a standard annotation symbol, meaning it can be placed directly onto drafting views or sheet views. Users can manipulate the leader line to point to specific steel connections. Because it is a native Revit annotation family, line weights and text styles are controlled via the project's object styles and text settings, ensuring consistent graphical output across all construction documentation sets.

This symbol is essential for structural engineers and architects producing detailed construction drawings. It is primarily used in structural plans, sections, and connection details to specify weld types and sizes for steel-to-steel connections, such as column-to-base plate assemblies. By incorporating this into your library, you streamline the process of marking up steel connections, ensuring compliance with industry drafting standards. It is particularly useful during the construction documentation phase of commercial, industrial, or complex residential projects where precise steel detailing is required.
