About this asset

This Revit family provides a detailed structural adjustment washer set, featuring gold-finished steel components for precise alignment. The OrbiPlate system is a specialized structural hardware set designed for high-strength steel connections. It includes a variety of circular and D-shaped washers, each featuring distinct serrated or ridged surfaces to ensure a secure, slip-resistant grip during installation. The set is finished in a characteristic zinc-yellow passivate, giving it a distinct metallic gold appearance. The geometry includes a heavy-duty bolt with an integrated flanged head and matching washers designed to accommodate lateral adjustments in steel framing members, ensuring structural integrity and precise positioning in complex steel assemblies.

The download is a 297 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 is best utilized as a nested component within structural connection assemblies. Users should load the RFA into a host structural connection family or directly into a project environment. The components are designed to be placed at the intersection of steel members, where they can be constrained to bolt holes. Material parameters allow for the adjustment of the visual finish, while the geometry is optimized for accurate representation in both 3D views and detailed section drawings.

These components are essential for structural engineers and steel detailers working on industrial, commercial, or infrastructure projects where high-load steel connections require precise field adjustment. They are commonly paired with heavy-duty structural steel bolts and beams in steel-framed construction. Professionals searching for 'adjustable steel washers', 'structural connection fasteners', or 'steel framing hardware' will find this asset useful for enhancing the accuracy and technical depth of structural BIM models, particularly during the fabrication and shop drawing phase of a project.
