Hi everyone
I’m working in this model, the idea is some main beams, which is a curved beam with different arcs, I tried to made it in one segment to get a continuously beam, but I couldn’t so I did it by different curve beams, but I want to create a beam system over those main curved beams, but as they were made by segment, Ican create the system beam just in the segment 2, but not in the segment 1, ( maybe because it is not possible place beam system in ‘vertical ‘ supports.
How can I do the beam system in the segment 1?
how could I make the main beam in just segment? Because maybe in one continuously curved beam the beam system works properly
thanks

Beam systems are work-plane based, by sketch, so it won't work on that curve. What you need is a divided surface and a pattern-based curtain panel family that represents the beam. Then that family is assigned as a pattern to the divided surface.

thanks, I think I understand you, not totally sure, do you mean something like this?:

I thought make it like that, But I hope it was possible by other way

Another potential solution, either make segment one into two segments, or sketch the beam system such that one end of the curve does not go beyond vertical. The end of the arc would be perpendicular to a horizontal plane in your front view.
