About this asset

This 350 Grade Square Hollow Section steel beam is a native Revit family providing a standard structural framing component. The 350 Grade Square Hollow Section (SHS) is a fundamental structural element defined by its uniform square profile and hollow core, typical of high-strength cold-formed steel sections. The geometry is clean and precise, intended for use in load-bearing frames, columns, or architectural steel feature work. The profile is extruded to allow for flexible length adjustment within the project environment. Its neutral grey finish is standard for structural steel representation, ensuring clear visual hierarchy in technical documentation and coordinated structural models across various building types.

The download is a 72 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.

As a standard Revit structural framing family, this component is loaded into the project and placed using the beam tool. Users can snap the element to grid lines or structural reference planes, adjusting the length by dragging the endpoints. The family parameters support typical structural analysis workflows, allowing for material assignment and scheduling based on section properties. It is best practice to manage these members within a dedicated structural sub-category for visibility control in plan, section, and 3D views.

This SHS profile is essential for architects and structural engineers working on steel-framed residential, commercial, or industrial projects. It is frequently employed in the design of portal frames, mezzanine structures, and modern exposed architectural steelwork where a clean, square profile is required. Professionals searching for this asset will typically look for structural steel sections, cold-formed steel framing, or specific grade-compliant components for BIM coordination. It pairs effectively with other steel connections, base plates, and structural fasteners in complex assemblies.
