This Revit family provides a 13ft open-web wood joist, designed for efficient structural framing in timber-based construction projects. The structural component features an open-web design, consisting of parallel top and bottom chords connected by diagonal web members. The assembly is constructed from dimensional lumber, providing a lightweight yet rigid solution for spanning floor or roof systems. The geometry is clean and precise, reflecting standard timber engineering practices for load-bearing members. The natural wood finish is consistent throughout the model, ensuring visual clarity in both structural and architectural views. The overall configuration is tailored for a 13-foot span, incorporating vertical end posts to maintain structural integrity at the bearing points.
The download is a 225 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 joist is loaded directly into the structural framing category. Users can host the element on reference planes or grid lines to define the structural layout of a building. The model is compatible with standard tagging and scheduling workflows, allowing for accurate material take-offs. To ensure proper visualization, apply a consistent wood texture to the material parameters within the family editor, enabling realistic rendering alongside other structural components in the project environment.
Wood Web Joist 13ft
Free
This joist is suited for residential floor framing and industrial roof systems where long spans are required without intermediate supports. It integrates effectively into timber-frame construction projects, working well with plywood decking or joist hangers. Professionals will find this asset useful during the schematic and construction documentation phases of design. Search for this component when specifying lightweight structural solutions, open-web floor systems, or engineered timber roof trusses for wood-framed buildings that require clear spans and high-performance structural reliability.
