This project presents a 3D steel structure model created in Autodesk Revit for a client project. The model covers a complete steel framed structure with all primary and secondary members modelled as Revit structural framing elements. Full Revit project files are available for free download via Google Drive.

About This Steel Structure Revit Model

The model was built to meet a client requirement for a 3D structural representation of a steel framed building. Revit was used to create the model using structural framing families for beams, columns, and bracing elements. The result is a full parametric BIM model that can be used to generate structural framing plans, sections, and schedules directly in Revit.

What the Model Includes

  • Steel columns: Modelled using Revit structural column families (W-shapes or equivalent)
  • Primary and secondary beams: Full framing layout on each floor level
  • Bracing elements: Lateral stability system modelled as structural framing members
  • Roof framing: Purlin and rafter layout where applicable
  • 3D views and framing plan views generated from the model

Applications of This Model

This Revit steel structure model is a valuable resource for:

  • Structural engineers learning how to model steel framing in Revit
  • BIM engineers studying structural family usage and model organisation for steel structures
  • Students working on steel structure design projects requiring a 3D model reference
  • Engineers using ETABS or SAP2000 who want to compare Revit and analysis software workflows

Software Required

Autodesk Revit 2019 or later. Student licences are available free via the Autodesk Education Community.

Download the Files

All Revit model files are hosted on Google Drive and available for free download. No registration required.

About This Revit Steel Structure Project

This project is a useful reference model for engineers and students learning Revit-based structural steel modelling. It demonstrates practical workflows for placing structural framing families, organising model views, and preparing framing plan documentation in Revit. The files are provided free of charge.
