   Hi all,

I'm not new in Revit but still have issues when it comes to vertical bracing. The main issue is how to detail it properly? I have structure where bracing bay consists of steel columns that are not of equal size (therefore bracing cannot be from centre to centre) and the bracing has to avoid block wall built between these columns so it has to be offset anyway. 
I do it this way: model named pinned reference planes, got to elevation or framing elevation, set the working plane  and model the bracing. Now it is not attached to anything because as soon as it will snap to something it is off plane. So this is jut representation of the bracing and it is not precise.

any ideas highly appreciated.
Thank you

	Have you posted your question in the Revit forums over at the AutoDesk website?

	No John. That site seems to be fairly confusing to say the least. If you oPen the structural forum there appear to be only 10 post altogether. I did post it on other forum too tho.

	Well somewhere out there is a good Revit forum now all we have to do is find it. Did you post over at CADTutor?

	No Revitforum. But the issue with that one is the post has to be approved by moderator and it can take some time. Revitcity is not bad but they have smth wrong with their website and can only be accessed via proxy. Even all search results from google land at their home page - basically making it useless. Havent tried Cad tutor.

	Visit CADTutor. There are a couple of Revit users there who might be able to help.
