Marco1979 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hi there, What i want is using cast-in-place conctrete beams....becos they "merge" beautifully (see attachement). Pre-casted ones dont merge like that. But those cast-in-place beams dont come with a "start or end extension". Can i add that option to those cast-in-place beams i was wondering? If yes, some directions would be nice =) Thanx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Compare the two families in the Family Editor. under Family Categories and Parameters, I believe if you change the precast to "Concrete" then it'll auto-magically join when they touch/connect. This is the only structural option for the Material for Model Behavior parameter that auto-joins. See if that helps.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco1979 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 ow nice, that worked fine...again (y) now i renamed the family-name to: ***Precast Beam to ***Beam. Is it possible to edit the standard material for those kinds of beams? Of course i can change it afterwards but i would like it to be f.i. ***C20/25 instead of "Concrete, Cast-in-place" Edit: darn, the end and start-extension have disappeared when changing it to "concrete" like you suggested.

tzframpton Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I guess Precast Concrete and Concrete have its differences then.... As for the Material, yes you can always change the Material. You do it in the same way you change anything else, in Edit Type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
