Slab with interior grid of steel frames

Hi there,

I need help to find any option to build slabs with a variable amount of steel frames.

I could place beams manually all over the surface, but this wouldn't be BIM coherent procedure.

Slabs are used with composite materials but non of those materials could be made of profiles, which would make the Core load-bearing of the slab.

I have searched a lot, but couldn't figure it out.
There are more complex objects for roofs, which seem to perform the same task as "Frame Vine 20" and/or "Grid 20", however, those do not allow me to set a custom complex profile as the extruded object, for example, to place steel beams in a regular separation basis.

Multiply, makes copies, but those copies are then standalone objects.
SystemGrid, the same... makes standalone copies.


Is there any way to make clone an object (beam, wall, column, chair, etc.) in a matricial setup in a way that their properties stays linked?


Thanks in advance
