Working with my structural design guys as they learn Revit, we found a few items worth mentioning about the additional framing that is added for braces, sag rods, opening frames and girts. My guys started by just following the how to books and some basic training. The tool mentioned to use for the additional framing, in the framing elevation, was braces. Brace tool works great for diagonal members, but is not as effective when placing vertical or horizontal members. When used for vert. or horz. members and changes were made to the larger framing, the bracing members tended to skew. When then started to use beams and columns with much better results.
Issue after starting to use beams and columns for the additional framing, was they were exporting into the analysis software. This was increasing the export/import for
unneeded items and engineers did not want them. We then found we could go to properties of the members and set Analyze As to Not for analysis.
