Functional Value

Increase productivity by placing parametric structural steel elements on a Geometric Set instead of individual lines. Structural members will automatically be created and updated depending on the content of the Geometric Set. This will speed up member creation exponentially, especially when placing members on outputs from an xGenerative Design wireframe model.


New in Building Structures, Geometric Sets can be used as input to create structural members. Whenever the contents of the Geometric Set changes the Beam Pattern feature will add or remove required members.


The Beam Pattern acts like any member creation command in Building Structures, however instead of using a curve as input, it takes a Geometric Set contain a list of curves as input.


As curves or lines are added to the Geometric Set, new beams are automatically instantiated.


Whenever lines are added or removed from the Geometric Set, beams will be either added or removed as well.
