Beam Layout in Schematic Floor Plan vs Beam layout in Slab layout

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,
I need a solution regarding beam layout. I need two different beam layout in two different drawing.
1. In slab layout -View Map
In slab layout I need to show the beam below the slab. Causing during Floor casting Floor and beam need to cast together. So Mason need the beam layout below the slab slab.

2.In schematic layout -View Map
In schematic drawing I need to show the beam above that floor. Cause it matters in spatial perception.

How Can I do this? please help me to solve the issue.

Please give me some more information, because my suggestion is dependent on that info:

1. Is the Beam located above or below the Slab?
2. Are you using Archicad 23 or an earlier version?

Dear Laszlo Nagy
Thanks for ur interest in this issue.
1. That Beam is located Below the Slab. ( I kept the Beam & attached Slab in the same Home Story ) .
2. I am using Archicad 23

So, you probably know that there is a new Model View Option which let you display Beams located under Slabs using a different line type, such as Hidden Lines. That covers scenario 1:


Then, you can create a Graphic Override Rule, which overrides the Pen of Beams to a Solid/Continuous line type. Using that Graphic Override, you can achieve scenario 2.

Hi.

If your beams are set to display in "All relevant stories", you can use Floor Plan Cut Plane settings to show the beams above or below depending on the view range you need.

Best regards.
