About this asset

This wall-hosted concrete lintel Revit family provides a precise structural header for masonry openings in BIM models. Designed for standard wall-hosted applications, this concrete lintel family features a simple rectangular profile suitable for supporting masonry above door or window openings. The geometry is clean and functional, represented with a standard concrete hatch pattern in elevation views. It is built to integrate directly with host walls, ensuring that the structural element maintains its position relative to the opening height. The simplicity of the form ensures lightweight performance in complex models, while the material definition allows for accurate scheduling and visual representation in both technical documentation and rendered architectural views.

The download is a 205 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 family into a project and place it directly onto the face of a wall above an opening. The parametric nature of the family allows for adjustment of length and depth to suit specific span requirements and wall thicknesses. It is best practice to assign the material parameter to a project-wide concrete material to ensure consistency in material take-offs and graphical output across the entire set of construction documents.

This component is essential for residential, commercial, or industrial projects requiring accurate structural detailing of masonry headers. It is typically deployed during the design development and construction documentation phases where structural coordination is paramount. Professionals will find it useful for defining wall openings in brick or blockwork facades. It pairs well with generic wall types and standard window or door families, ensuring that the structural integrity of the wall assembly is clearly communicated in both plans and sections.
