Revit Extensions - Multi Span Beams

Anonymous — Wed, 18 Jul 2018 14:28:48 GMT

Hi All,

I'm using the Revit Extensions for Revit 2018 and I have a problem with placing multi-span beam reinforcement.

I have the following element:

3 beams selected and press "Beams" in Extensions

After a while, there is an error message that pops up:

So, what am I doing wrong?

Any tip of advice will be well received.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jorge,

dealing with the same problem here, it seems to be a bug, the only way I can use the beams multi span option with the extension is drawing all the beams as one, but that doesn't fit our models standards. Doing this is the only way that the extension recognites a beam with more than onw support

If anyone has an idea, it would be a great help!!

No multi-span direction reference in your video...just regular use of the extension

Hi @Anonymous,

It seems you are trying to reinforce multiple beams at the same time using Autodesk Revit Extensions, while that is currently not supported we would suggest you post the idea in our Revit Ideas page. Developers pay close attention to this page where the most voted ideas have a chance to be integrated in future releases or updates.

Here is the link for the Ideas page:

and this is the article that addresses your question:

Can multiple beams be reinforced in one run in structural plan using the extension?
