Placing Structural Systems on Face

[kyleboyd]

How can I switch the orientation of a structural system placed on a tilted face.  In other words, I have framing that snaps to the underside, and I need it flipped to the topside of the face.  Thanks!

Select the beams and change their "z-direction offset value".

Each beam? There is no way to do this for the whole system? So I have to do this for hundreds, perhaps thousands of beams?

[Alfredo_Medina]

If you had a hundred beams or a thousand beams of the same type, you could still select them all at once and write the new setting just once.

 Another solution is to create a slanted reference plane, offset inward from the face, the same depth of the beam. Then select the beam system > Edit work plane > the named reference plane. That will shift the beam system.

Ah thanks!! Great tips, especially the second as not all my beams need to be offset. But both can be made to work, thanks!
