    plan vs reality

    Revit 2018

    OK, so this isn't Architectural, but it's definitely general.

    So referring to the two images, how do I get the model (which the Architect wants to be as perfect as possible) to be correct AND have the members show up on the plan as shown. The two members, A & B, splice at the locations of member C.

    So on the plan there is a virtual gap to show the splice location. But then in the model there shouldn't be a gap, as the two members are welded together in the field.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Dependant on the (structural framing?) family, there should be instance-based end-extension parameters to adjust the length of the member.

      Agree with snowy weston. Except I would probably prefer a type parameter to set the ends of the symbolic lines back from the ends of the model shapes by some common distance so the plan looks consistent at the intersections.

        Why dont you use the Modify Joins tool, meant for Structural Elements, to fix the model?

        This will make the lines touch each other in Plan, but then you can add A Framing Connection Symbol for "splice" to the ends ob both beams, and get a symbol there. (Note: I didnt use the correct symbol, since i am not a Structural Engineer and dont know what symbol you would use). But they built the tools in for this, a few years back.

          Just use a symbolic line set to show on coarse detail level.

          The members can connect with only a slight cutback it wont matter, but you can manage the cutback distance properly too if you want the model to be accurate.
          The 2D style line drawing can be managed using a symbolic line in your framing family.
