This Duragal Dualgrade Rectangular Hollow Section steel beam is a native Revit family designed for precise structural framing. The component represents a standard cold-formed rectangular hollow section (RHS) steel member. It features a clean, uniform profile with sharp, defined edges, suitable for structural steel detailing and BIM coordination. The geometry is straightforward, providing a consistent cross-section along its length, which is essential for accurate modelling of portal frames, columns, and bracing systems. As a standard structural member, it lacks unnecessary decorative detail, focusing instead on geometric accuracy and standard industrial proportions. This element is designed to integrate seamlessly into structural schedules and material take-offs within professional building information modelling environments.
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.
In Revit, this family functions as a standard structural framing element. Users can load the component into a project and assign it to structural framing or column categories. It is fully compatible with Revit's snapping and alignment tools, allowing for precise placement along grid lines or structural axes. The profile supports standard structural analysis workflows, where it can be mapped to specific material properties and analytical line models for gravity load calculations and connection detailing.

This RHS profile is a fundamental building block for structural engineers and architects working on steel-framed projects ranging from residential portal frames to large-scale industrial warehouses. It is commonly used for primary structural support, secondary framing, and architectural exposed steel elements. Professionals will search for this component when specifying hot-dip galvanized or standard hollow sections for load-bearing structures. It pairs effectively with other steel connection families, base plates, and bolts, providing a reliable and lightweight solution for modern structural design requirements.
