Cut Structural Member with Plane

Use the Cut Geometry tool to cut a structural member with a plane. For example, use Cut Geometry to cut a column to a certain height, or to stop a beam at a wall.

To cut a beam at a wall

1. Create a reference plane in the plane of the wall where you want the cut to occur.
2. Click Modify tabGeometry panelCut drop-down (Cut Geometry).
3. Select the beam to be cut.
4. Select the reference plane.

   If you move the wall or the beam, the cut will persist at the wall unless the beam is no longer joined with the wall.
