This Revit family provides a structural steel bent beam, ideal for complex framing requirements in industrial or commercial projects. The component is a structural steel beam featuring a distinct angular bend, designed to accommodate non-linear structural layouts. It maintains a consistent I-beam cross-section throughout the length, including the transition at the corner joint. The geometry is clean and intended for accurate representation of steel frame connections where standard straight members are insufficient. The material is represented as a neutral grey, allowing for standard structural steel material application within the project environment. This family is suitable for detailed framing plans and structural modelling where specific geometric deviations are required for architectural or engineering design.
The download is a 205 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.
Load this family into your project as a structural framing member. Use the standard Revit beam tool to place the object along your defined grid lines or reference planes. Because this is a custom bent geometry, verify the insertion point and orientation to ensure the beam aligns correctly with adjacent column or beam connections. Material parameters can be assigned to the steel finish to match your project-wide structural steel standards for schedules and visual rendering.
Structural Steel Bent Beam
Free
This bent beam is essential for complex structural framing scenarios, such as angular building footprints, mezzanine layouts, or custom portal frame designs. It is commonly used by structural engineers and BIM coordinators in industrial facilities, commercial warehouses, and bespoke architectural steelwork. When documenting projects, search for this component when standard beam libraries cannot accommodate non-orthogonal geometry.
