Representing Beams

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:09:55 GMT

If you draw a slab in roof layer it represents on floor plan as dashed and roof plan as solid line (good) buit if you draw the same thing as a beam it doesn't represent in the same way?

There is alway a way to get a beam to dispaly anyway you need it to see it.

You can even get the same beam to look different in different views.

How do you want it to look?

There is a preference setting for slabs and roof to display different line types one storey up or down.
There is noe preference setting for beams.
However they can be set to display one storey up or down in the beam settings but you won't get it to display with different line types.

Model View Options can be useful for beam display too.

There is always a way to get what you need.
