Background:
I am a structural engineer having recently purchased a copy of Revit LT 2016 to aid in the preparation of architectural/structural drawings. I do not need to share my Revit models with other engineers or architects so prefer to keep all project documentation (architectural / structural) in a single rvt file. Currently I am outsourcing drafting work (to 2D AutoCAD user) for small portal frame buildings and want to explore the possibility of doing more modelling / drafting myself in Revit (particularly since clients prefer 3D). I need assistance putting together a reasonable “template” to be used on these projects.
Scope:
Produce approx. 11 page drawing set of portal frame building fabricated from cold formed sections. Drawings from previous projects will be provided for reference. Tasks include
• Create project template (dimension styles, line styles, text, weld symbols, materials, wall/roof types etc.)
• Create professional looking title block / sheet
• Create beam/column family for “top hat” purlins
• Create beam/column family for “C” purlins
• Create beam/column family for “Z” purlins
• Create families for knee and apex connections
• Create family for base plate and other connections
• Create family for flanged M12 and M16 bolts as well as tek screw
• Create a family (or group) for a single portal frame comprising of columns, rafters, knee and apex connection, base plate and hold down bolts
• Create family for roller door, roller door brackets and guides
• Create PA door and window family (basic)
• Create family for barge, ridge and vertical capping/flashings
• Standard details (drafting views – edge thickening, bored piers, base plate fixing, flashings etc.)
Additional Comments:
The drawings provided will be for reference only, I will provide sketches and mark-ups for a new project of similar complexity (roller door locations and jamb details, bracing, frame dimensions for example may differ from reference drawings). The main objective is to create a reusable template and as such families and details should be prepared with this in mind. Automatic scheduling of as many components as possible (columns, rafters, strap bracing, purlins, girts etc.) would be ideal.
If interested please PM for reference drawings.

I am young structural engineer with extensive experience in Revit (about 5 years) and designing concrete structures. Can give you jpg of recent work.
This is great job and I will do my best for this type of job because it is STRUCTURAL. We have little work in Serbia in steel, only reconstructions and I used only calculations.
Passed Autodesk Professional Revit exam (it is architectural because there is none for structural)
Hi We are in structural filed from almost 8 years. we have completed almost 5 Portal framing projects with all structural standard. Hair Pin reinforced slab with portal Framing. please provide us the drawing and we would like to have a long time relationship with you for Structural Projects.
1) GA Drawings from Structural Cover sheet to Schedule Sheet - Completely in revit.
2) Revit Model with all floor plans and Sections and Drafting views etc..
3) We will Provide completely Customized Template for your future projects.
4) Revit Family as per customer requirement.
Expecting a CAD Drawings from your end. Please provide us the same. we will show you our work in your projects itself for estimation.
