Then…If you want to…
move the cursor over a segment of
the grid to display a preview of the
add beams along one or more seg-
ments of a column grid
beam, and then click to add a beam
along that segment; or press Ctrl
and click to add beams along all
segments in that grid line; or press
Ctrl twice and click to add beams
along all segments in the grid. Press
ENTER to end the command.
NOTE If you want to add a beam that spans an object from edge to
edge rather than lying along one of its edges, you can change the
Layout type setting from Edge to Fill on the Properties palette. For
more information on property settings for beam tools, see Creating
Beams with User-Specified Settings on page 2530.
Creating Beams with User-Specified Settings
Use this procedure to add one or more new beams with property settings that
you specify. You can add a beam anywhere in the drawing area by specifying
a start point and an endpoint, or you can position and size a beam in relation
to an existing object. You can also create multiple beams, either one at a time
(connected endpoint to start point) or arrayed within boundaries defined by
other beams or by column grids, slabs, roof slabs, or walls. The style specified
in the tool provides the beam shape, which is extruded along the paths you
define in the drawing area.
Creating a beam
Optionally, offset the beam from its start point or endpoint.
