When beams are modelled, there is no tool to place cut openings in them, just the integrated cut opening in the settings of the beam. Sadly, this tool is lacking the possibility to manipulate with different parameters.
What I am missing, is the text description with height and width.
What I did, I used a wall to model it as a beam (classification IfcBeam) and placed a standard cut opening element (Window Tool) to show the graphics and the text beside it. To allow this option your wall must be presented as a “symbolic section”, otherwise you won’t be able to see the cut opening (if the wall/beam is sitting above head). In the “symbolic section” sadly you see the concrete fill of the element and not just the dashed contour lines.
The only solution that I have found to overcome this problem is to create a wall that starts from the floor and goes up to the ceiling. In this case I don’t use the “symbolic section” but “Projected with overhead” which allows the presentation of the cut opening. Then you need to place an empty opening across the length of the wall and the define the height where the beam begins. This empty opening allows to remove the part that is underneath our “fake” beam.
That is why on the image, drawing nr.3 is so far the correct presentation.
Does anyone have a better solution for this cheers
Still looking?
