HST 300 Steel C-Section Purlin

This Revit family provides a precise HST 300 steel C-section purlin, featuring a characteristic galvanised finish for structural use. The HST 300 is a cold-formed steel C-section purlin, engineered for use in roof and wall support systems. Its profile includes a vertical web, top and bottom flanges, and return lips, providing structural rigidity while maintaining a lightweight form. The surface displays a distinct galvanised texture, typical of industrial steel components. Designed for modular integration, this element is suited for secondary framing applications, offering consistent geometry for spanning between primary portal frames or columns. The family allows for accurate representation of the profile in both plan and section views within technical documentation.

The download is a 225 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 structural framing family should be loaded into the project and applied using the Beam tool. Users can snap the member to structural grid lines or reference planes to define the span. It is recommended to manage the visibility of the profile through the structural framing category settings. For detailed schedules, ensure the length parameter is correctly mapped to your project's structural framing schedule, allowing for accurate material take-offs and length calculations across the building model.
