About this asset

This Revit detail component provides a precise 2D section profile of a standard light-gauge steel metal stud for project drafting. This detail component depicts a standard C-shaped metal stud profile in section. It features the characteristic lipped flanges and flat web geometry typical of cold-formed steel framing used in partition walls and ceiling systems. The lines are clean and represent the cross-section of the member, making it suitable for high-quality architectural drafting. The geometry is simplified for clarity in construction documentation, ensuring that the profile remains legible at common scales such as 1:5 or 1:10. It is a fundamental element for representing steel-framed assemblies accurately within a BIM environment.

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.

Load this detail component into your Revit project and place it directly into drafting views or onto detail sheets. Because it is a 2D element, it behaves as a standard family that can be rotated, mirrored, or arrayed to depict wall framing layouts. It is best used for enhancing the accuracy of wall assembly sections, providing the necessary technical detail that standard wall types might lack when shown at larger scales during the construction documentation phase.

This asset is essential for architects and structural engineers developing wall sections and assembly details for residential, commercial, or industrial projects. It pairs effectively with other detail components like gypsum board, insulation, and fasteners to create comprehensive construction details. Professionals searching for light-gauge steel framing, partition wall details, or cold-formed metal sections will find this component useful for streamlining the documentation process. It is specifically intended for technical drawings where the precise profile of the steel stud is required for coordination.
