Steel Tapered Column MB Frame Vertical 3 Section

This Revit family is a vertical tapered steel column featuring a three-section profile, designed for precise structural modelling. The component is a vertical structural steel column defined by a distinct three-section tapered geometry. It features a continuous tapered edge that transitions the profile width, providing a tapered aesthetic suitable for portal frames or specialty structural applications. The assembly includes a top cap plate, explicitly identified with a 1/2 inch thickness parameter. The geometry is clean and efficient, focusing on structural accuracy rather than ornate detailing. This piece is intended for integration into steel frame systems where tapered profiles are required for load distribution or architectural expression within industrial or commercial building designs.

The download is a 246 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.

As a native Revit family, this column is designed for placement within structural project templates. Users can load the RFA file into the project environment and host it as a structural column component. The family parameters allow for adjustments to the cap plate thickness and overall vertical height. It is recommended to align the column to structural grids and check the analytical model representation to ensure proper integration with beams and foundations in the structural analytical model.
