About this asset

This metric countersunk head detail component for Revit provides a clean 2D representation of a hexagonal drive fastener head. The component is a minimalist 2D line-work representation of a metric countersunk screw head, specifically featuring a hexagonal internal drive. It is designed for use in plan-view drafting where accurate representation of mechanical fasteners is required. The geometry consists of a circular outer profile representing the countersunk face, with a centred hexagon to denote the drive type. This family is purely symbolic, intended for use in drafting views, legends, or detail sheets to maintain consistent graphic standards across technical documentation without the overhead of complex 3D geometry.

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 family directly into your Revit project or detail library. Once loaded, place the component into drafting views or onto the surface of a detail component family using the component tool. Because it is a 2D line-based family, it remains lightweight and does not impact model performance. Users can scale the instance within the project environment to match specific metric fastener sizes required for the assembly, ensuring clear communication of hardware specifications in construction documentation.

This detail component is essential for architects and structural engineers producing technical construction documents, assembly details, or shop drawing sets. It is particularly useful for indicating bolt locations in timber, steel, or joinery connections where a countersunk finish is specified. By standardising fastener representation in sectional or plan details, it ensures clarity for contractors and fabricators. Professionals will find this asset helpful when drafting joinery sections, furniture assembly details, or steel connection nodes, pairing well with standard Revit line styles and dimensioning tools.
