Metal Panel on Subgirt Detail Component, Section Detail

This Revit detail component provides a precise section view of a metal panel installation on a subgirt for exterior wall assemblies. The detail component illustrates a standard rainscreen or cladding system interface, featuring a metal panel profile secured to a structural subgirt. It includes specific annotations for fastener locations, showing the connection between the panel flange and the support member. The drawing clearly indicates the profile geometry, including the panel joint and the mechanical attachment points. This 2D representation is essential for documenting wall build-ups, ensuring accurate thermal and moisture protection detailing in architectural construction documents. The linework is clean, conforming to standard BIM drafting conventions for section views in Revit projects.

The download is a 215 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.

Load this detail component into your Revit project as a standard RFA file. It is designed for use within drafting views or as a nested component within a detail group. Users can place the element directly into a section view, adjusting the alignment to match the specific wall build-up of the project. Because it is a 2D detail, it does not impact 3D model performance, allowing for quick documentation of typical exterior cladding conditions without the overhead of complex, fully modelled geometry.
