About this asset

This Revit structural family features a timber post mounted on a steel center fix stirrup, designed for precise base connection. The assembly comprises a vertical square-profile timber post supported by a heavy-duty steel center fix stirrup. The stirrup consists of a flat base plate, a central vertical shaft, and a receiving plate that anchors into a pre-cut slot in the timber base. Two visible bolt heads indicate the mechanical fastening point through the side of the post, ensuring a secure and rigid connection to the foundation. The geometry is clean and functional, reflecting standard structural detailing for elevated timber columns in residential or light industrial framing applications.

The download is a 215 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 designers can load this RFA file directly into Revit projects to model structural frame connections. The family is configured for placement at the base of timber columns, allowing users to align the stirrup precisely with foundation levels or concrete piers. Adjustments to the post height or material parameters can be made via the family properties, ensuring accurate coordination with structural framing plans and schedules in the BIM environment.

This component is intended for use in residential construction, deck framing, and light commercial projects where timber posts meet concrete foundations. It is essential for accurately detailing the transition between wood and masonry or concrete substrates. Professionals can search for this asset when requiring specific structural hardware for column bases, timber-to-concrete connections, or post-support detailing. It pairs effectively with standard structural floor plans and section details, providing a realistic representation of common site-fastening methods for timber-framed buildings.
