About this asset

This Revit detail component provides a standard 2D welded connection symbol for structural documentation and construction drawings. This Revit family is a dedicated 2D detail component designed to represent a welded connection within a project's drafting views. It features a clean, high-contrast graphic representation of a typical weld bead profile, suitable for use in standard structural sections and connection details. The geometry is simplified to ensure clarity at common drafting scales, such as 1:5 or 1:10, allowing for quick placement within technical drawings. As a native Revit annotation element, it maintains consistent line weights and styles, ensuring it adheres to standard architectural and engineering graphic conventions throughout a set of construction documentation.

The download is a 61 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.

Users can load this RFA file directly into a Revit project or a detail component library. Once loaded, the component is accessed via the 'Detail Component' tool in the Annotate tab. It is designed to be placed directly onto drafting views or over cropped model sections to indicate welded joints. Because it is a 2D family, it does not interfere with the 3D model geometry, making it ideal for standardising structural connection annotations across complex building projects.

This asset is essential for structural engineers, steel fabricators, and architects producing detailed construction drawing sets. It is specifically intended for use in structural sections, steel framing plans, and bespoke connection details where physical weld locations must be clearly communicated. Professionals typically use this when documenting steel-to-steel connections, moment frames, or truss assemblies. It pairs effectively with standard Revit structural framing tags and dimensioning tools to provide a complete and professional annotation workflow for industrial, commercial, and residential building projects.
