Beam Intersections

[Anonymous]

Is there any way to control the priority of beam intersections?

My beam is being cut by some materials in a slab and I don't want the beam cut. Actually the beam is supposed to be inside the concrete.

It's a matter of building material priorities. You have to set the BM of your beam with a higher priority than the wall's BM.

Check the intersection priority of the relevant materials.

Well, that's the problem, actually. There is no material setting in the Beam Selection Settings. There's only a surface override, which is not material setting, just a texture.

If your bean is a complex profile, the materials will be defined by the complex profile. But an easier way to resolve the problem may be to change the layer priority of your beam layer.
