Let me start off by saying I like the coping tool, but I don't see any way to radius the web cope... it is cut at a 90° angle. Does anyone have any tips? Hints? Secrets? This is my first ever post to the forum, so please take it easy on the newbie. I'm using Revit Structure 2010. Thanks a bunch!Lonzo

OK, I just checked out www.augi.com and on their "wish list for Revit Structure 2011" is the ability to show a radius cope on steel beams. If anyone knows of a fix, let me know... until then, I reckon I'll draw in detail lines and hide the beams... :-( Thanks in advance!

Lonz, This kind of stinks for a work around but should work: Model an "opening by face". Still may take time, but looks good in 3D and such. Greg

Thanks Greg. Actually I'm going into the extensions mgr and "freezing" them, exploding them, and then radiusing them... (sounds violent, I know!)... Thanks again! Lonzo

How about a simple masking region? Only the curved line of the mask is solid and the other two hidden. BTW... create one and copy many...

WWHub's suggestion to use masking regions is how we did it when I was in a structural office. Seemed to be the least PITA method.

Using the model opening by face option makes the geometry real in mutliple views (ie: 3D). In addition, the projected lines of the material are shown, including the radius. No faking all real gemoetry cuts.

Using an opening does work, and I would use it on occasion where I would be looking at the same connection in multiple views, but I always ended up going back to masking regions for most of my details. I didn't really like it (I would rather model stuff correctly rather than "fake it in" , but I just couldn't beat it for speed, especially when it came to copying and pasting the masking region (and other detail elements) into a dozen different details, and tweaking it to fit. Lonzo, I would suggest trying all the different methods. They will all get the job done, but one might be easier than another for you.
