This four-way spider glass connector is a Revit family detailing articulated point-fixed glazing hardware with cylindrical mounting bosses. Rendered with high-tech functional clarity, the component features a central circular hub from which four tapered radial arms extend outward. Each arm terminates in a detailed circular routel clamp designed for countersunk or flush glass panel anchoring, separated by dark gasket isolation rings. The geometric structure exhibits clean conical transitions, distinct mounting caps, and balanced four-point geometry typical of cast stainless steel facade tensioning systems. The clean solid modelling accurately depicts the offset depth between structural support backings and architectural exterior glass panes.
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.rfa component directly into your Revit project or curtain wall family template. Position the spider connector across panel joints within structural glass assemblies, tension cable trusses, or vertical glass fin systems. Material parameters can be configured to represent satin or polished stainless steel, while the defined origin planes facilitate rapid alignment along structural grid intersections in section and elevation.
Engineered for detailing structural glass curtain wall assemblies, frameless glazed entry canopies, double-skin facades, and commercial atrium enclosures. This hardware asset suits high-traffic commercial offices, corporate lobbies, airport terminals, and retail showrooms where exposed glass spider fittings and minimalist architectural envelope detailing are specified. Professionals frequently search for 4-arm point-supported glazing, curtain wall bracket hardware, frameless facade spiders, and structural glass fixing components during detailed design phases.
