Modify beam system instance properties to change beam spacing, beam layout, identity data, and more.
To change instance properties, select the element and change its properties on the Properties palette.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Constraints | |
| 3D | Creates a non-planar beam system in which the elevation of a beam is defined by its sketch lines. See Create a Non-planar Beam System. |
| Elevation | The vertical offset of beam system beams from the beam system work plane. |
| Work Plane | This is a read-only value that is dependent on the work plane where the element was placed. |
| Pattern | |
| Layout Rule | Rules for beam spacing. See Modify the Layout of a Beam System. |
| Fixed Spacing | The space between beams. This parameter is only accessible for certain values of the Layout Rule parameter. See Modify the Layout of a Beam System. |
| Centerline Spacing | The distance between beam centerlines. This is a read-only parameter. |
| Justification | Specifies the starting location (beginning, end, or center) of the beam system in relation to the selected boundary. |
| Beam Type | The structural framing type to be used for creating beams in a beam system. |
| Identity Data | |
| Tag new members in view | Specifies the view in which to display new beam elements added to the beam system. See Tag New Beams in a Beam System. |
| Comments | User comments. |
| Mark | A label created for the beam system. This value must be unique for each element in a project. Revit warns you if the number is already used but allows you to continue using it. You can see the warning using the Review Warnings tool. See Review Warning Messages. |
| Phasing | |
| Phase Created | Indicates in which phase the beam system was created. See Project Phasing. |
| Phase Demolished | Indicates in which phase the beam system was demolished. See Project Phasing. |
