Structural Beam Systems - select all beams in a system

Structural Beam Systems - select all beams in a system

I'm using a structural beam system for wood slat ceilings.  Architecturallty we tag the underside of ceilings from the level height. I'd like to be able to select all beams associated to a system and change the z-justification (from top to bottom).  Having the option to select all beams in a system would be helpful instead of isolating and trying to select all beams in the system from a 3D view.

I can't understand why this is not a default feature?! Unless I am missing something, it should be there out of the box.

Agreed.  Would be an incredibly easy feature to implement.   Do I really have to go and pick each individual beam in order to change the properties of all the beams?

 

As a work around I thought you could isolate the beam system element and then select all but this just hides all the beams.

 

Autodesk, heed our call!

Meanwhile a simple Dynamo script can do the job.

Yes please. This should definitely be implemented as a feature and wouldn't be difficult to achieve. Voted

You can select one of the members and then type your keyboard shortcut for "Select all instances visible in view". From there you may want to isolate your selection for ease of drag selecting.
