About this asset

Modern retractable automatic bollards modeled as a Revit family, featuring subterranean cylindrical housings and surface mounting plates. Designed for vehicle access management, this unit features a cylindrical telescopic post set within a subterranean housing canister. A rectangular surface plate frames the opening with perimeter bolt fastenings and integrated service cutouts. The model demonstrates both operational configurations: fully lowered flush with the paving surface for unobstructed vehicular passage, and vertically extended to form a physical security barrier. Modeled with clean circular cross-sections and distinct metallic components, the geometry clearly separates below-grade footing volumes from above-grade containment posts for precise site civil coordination.

The download is a 952 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 the RFA component directly into Revit site or architectural projects to set out driveway clearances and entry control points. Align the mounting flange flush to finished floor or external hardscape levels, and verify host depth against subterranean structural slabs. Use visibility settings or family types to display extended or retracted states during layout reviews, coordination meetings, and multidisciplinary clash detection.

Suited for civic plazas, corporate entrances, parking facilities, logistics bays, and public realm streetscapes requiring vehicle control. This element pairs naturally with curbs, security gatehouses, turnstiles, and pedestrian paving systems. Designers documenting vehicle control barriers, automatic rising bollards, traffic restriction posts, and access control infrastructure can incorporate this family into technical masterplans, construction documentation, and site security coordination models.
