About this asset

This Type B metal deck profile is a native Revit detail component providing a precise 2D section for structural steel floor assemblies. The Type B metal deck profile is a standard structural steel section designed for use in floor and roof assemblies. It features a repeating trapezoidal geometry with consistent flute spacing, designed for structural composite action with concrete slabs. The lines are clean and defined, suitable for use in architectural or structural detail views. This component represents the cross-section of the decking material, providing the necessary line work for accurate construction documentation. It is a fundamental element for detailing the interface between steel framing members and the floor deck system in technical drawings.

The download is a 164 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.

Users load this family into a Revit project as a detail component. It is designed to be placed within drafting views or directly into section views where a representation of the metal deck is required. Because it is a 2D detail item, it does not require complex rendering materials or lighting. Architects and engineers can use the array or copy commands to extend the profile across the width of the structural bay, ensuring accurate annotations for floor build-ups.

This detail component is essential for construction documentation in commercial, industrial, and multi-storey residential projects. It is typically used in wall sections, floor details, and structural assembly drawings to communicate the specific deck profile to contractors and fabricators. Professionals searching for this asset will likely be looking for 'Type B deck section', 'metal floor decking detail', or 'structural steel profile' for their Revit drafting library. It pairs effectively with beam and column families to complete the structural framing detail of a project.
