Lindab U Section Light Gauge Steel Profile

This Lindab U section is a light gauge steel structural profile provided as a native Revit family for precise construction detailing. The Lindab U section is a cold-formed, light gauge steel profile featuring a clean, uniform U-shaped channel geometry. Designed for structural efficiency, this component provides a consistent cross-section suitable for wall studs, floor joists, or roof purlins in light steel framing systems. The geometry is straightforward, with sharp, ninety-degree bends creating the parallel flanges and a flat web. Its lightweight, high-strength nature makes it an essential building block for modern modular construction. The profile is presented with a neutral grey finish, representing typical galvanised steel construction materials used in contemporary building envelopes and internal load-bearing partitions.

The download is a 256 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.

Engineers and architects can load this component directly into Revit as a structural framing family. Once loaded, it functions as a sweepable or linear element that can be constrained to grid lines or reference planes. Users can adjust the length by dragging the endpoints or inputting precise dimensions. Because it is a native BIM object, it integrates seamlessly into structural schedules, allowing for accurate material take-offs and weight calculations during the design development or construction documentation phases of a project.
