Add/Modify Details – for placing details in the frame. It is recommended to use these functions at the end of the framing process.
Details Configuration – definition of all detail-placing parameters.
Configuration Name – configuration with all framing settings. You can use sample configurations or create new ones. Also you can rename or delete existing configurations.
By default, Floor+M detail configurations are saved in C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Tools 4 Revit\Floor+M2020 Configurations (or other version)\Details Configurations catalog. The content from this catalog can be copied to other users' computers if needed. Also the path can be changed in Floor+M → Settings → Configuration Files’ Location.
Details on Bridging/Blocking/Rim Joist, Details on Joist and Bridging/Blocking/Rim Joist Holes – different rules for placing details and holes.
You can very easily predefine different insertion rules for 4 detail families using the 4 tabs across the top of the dialog.
Type – select a family and type of the detail.
Sample detail and hole families (Metric or Imperial), which come with Floor+M:
Width (b) – shows the width, b parameter value from selected family type.
Depth (h, d) – shows the depth, h or d parameter value from selected family type.
Define Depth (h, d) by Layer Thickness – the software will create new type for selected family and change depth value to the floor layer thickness. So the details or holes will fit the layer in the floor.
Insert Details – the details or holes with rules that are listed below will be (not) applied in the frame. You can predefine the rules for the details, but it will not necessarily have to be added during the current insertion process.
Rotate 90°, 180° – if ON, then rotates detail by 90 or 180 degrees. Rotation depends on how the family is created.
Offset from Joist Side – detail insertion placement: Left, Right, Left and Right, Solid/Open Face or Center between Two.
Offset – distance between detail and a joist.
Measure from Location Line – if ON, then the distance for detail placement will be calculated from the Bridging/Nogging/Blocking/Joist location line.
Measure from Web Faces – if ON, then the distance for detail placement will be calculated from the Bridging/Nogging/Blocking/Joist web faces.
Location settings – predefine detail position on top/bottom rim joists/cover plates, bridgings/noggings, headers, etc.
Possible options:
Include Openings – if ON, then the details will be inserted on elements above and below the openings.
Min. Distance between Joists – define the minimum distance between joists where details will be inserted.
Add Details if Element is Crossing Joist – adds details in places where rim joist/bridging/nogging is crossing joist.
Add Details if Joist is Crossing Element – adds details in places where joist is crossing rim joist/bridging/nogging.
Add Details for L Connections – adds details near L connections.
Additional Details – features for adding additional details by predefined rules.
Example: Anchors are added into end connection joists with predefined spacing:
