Modelling – Floors, Columns and Beams
Horizontal beams can also
be cornered correctly in
this fashion using the tool
Intersecting beams can
also be cut or notched to
accommodate other beams
by using the Notch or Cope
Tool (un notch is also
available via the drop
down)
once a beam is notched, a
coping distance parameter
will become editable in that
beam’s properties.
Tip: set this to 0 for
structural timber
Beams also have a start
and end extension
indicated right by the drag
arrows (the dot indicates
the extent of the sketch)
It may be necessary to
extend the ends of a beam
in order to finish off.
