Complicated concrete beam modeling

[dzkt98]

Hi guys, i'm having trouble with model beam on various slope floor. Floor sloping direction is the red arrow. i want to place concrete beam as horizontal and vertical direction (blue lines). the top elevation of beam must follow the top elevation of floor and bend when intersection between floors. i tried different methods but i have not found the correct way to model and constrain the beam for the most reliable elevation. i attached the floor as revit file at attachment.  please help me.

You need to set the Work plane to the Slope Draw the Beam aligned to the slope and then mitre or join where it changes direction

hi, thank you for being interest in the topic, i cannot open the file with revit 2024. May i have you contact for directing exchange?

Structure Tab > Set Workplane

Pick the Slope Face

Draw Beam 

Trim to Corner

i draw as your method (direction as blue lines) but went i click to the end point - edge that floor changed slope, the start point of beam automatically goes to other point

[dzkt98 · Accepted solution]

i did it but it the elevation off the end point seem wrong, it suppose to higher than -500

Thank Look like it was drawn horizontally on plane, but you are correct and can edit this way manually but any changes manage to the slab/slope will manually need editing.

Aligning Reference Plane to bottom Face of Slab drawing beam follows slope

Edit Slab slope beams moves with reference
