Steel Flitch Connection Plate Bracing Strut

This Revit family provides a steel flitch connection plate for structural bracing struts, ideal for precise timber frame detailing. The component is a robust steel flitch connection plate designed for structural timber-to-steel or timber-to-timber junctions. It features a flat square base plate with a perpendicular vertical gusset, which includes two pre-drilled holes for secure fastening. The geometry is clean and utilitarian, reflecting standard industrial steel fabrication. The plate is designed for high-load bracing applications, providing a stable anchor point for diagonal struts within a frame. Its proportions are compact, ensuring it fits neatly within standard beam or column profiles while maintaining structural integrity for complex timber assemblies.

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.

In Revit, this component functions as a face-based or generic model family. Users should load the component into their project and snap it to the host structural member using the base plate surface. The parameters allow for alignment with existing structural grids or reference planes. Once positioned, users can easily constrain the connection to the host geometry. It is recommended to manage this component within a dedicated structural subcategory to maintain clean visibility settings across project views and schedules.
