About this asset

Metal Stud 6-Inch Side Profile Detail Component is a Revit family for precise wall assembly documentation and section drafting. This 2D detail component represents a standard 6-inch metal stud in profile view. It is designed for use within Revit drafting views or section details, providing a clean, vector-based representation of light-gauge steel framing. The geometry includes the characteristic C-channel profile seen from the side, allowing architects to accurately annotate wall assemblies. It features clear line work suitable for scale-dependent drafting, ensuring that technical drawings remain legible when printed at various scales. This component is essential for defining wall structure, fire-rating assemblies, and general framing requirements within construction documentation sets.

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.

To use this component, load the RFA file into your project or template file as a detail component. Once loaded, access it through the Detail Component tool on the Annotate tab. You can place the stud into any section or callout view where vertical framing needs to be represented. Because it is a 2D detail item, it does not impact the 3D model volume or material take-offs, keeping the project file size lean while ensuring accurate technical documentation.

This asset is intended for use in construction documentation, particularly for wall sections, partition details, and interior elevation annotations. It is a fundamental tool for architects and structural drafters working on commercial or residential projects where light-gauge steel framing is specified. Professionals will find it useful when creating building code-compliant wall assemblies, fire-rated partitions, or coordinating MEP services within the stud cavity. It pairs seamlessly with other standard Revit detail components for insulation, gypsum board, and sheathing to complete wall assembly detailing.
