Beam Panel as a Sub Panel

Framer

A beam panel can be a sub panel in a wall, floor, roof or truss panel. This requires that all the parts of the beam panel are connected to the panel in question. Example:

  • Add Parts

    Add parts to the panel by using the Modeling | Accessory Component | Profile function, for example.

    Add a Profile

  • Build a Beam Panel

    Build one or more beam panels of the parts.

    Build Beams

    Build One Beam

  • Connect the Parts to the Panel

    Connect the parts to the panel by using the Plane Structure | Framing | Add Profile > Connect function.

    After this, the beam panel is presented under the panel's heading in the object tree.

    Connect/Disconnect Parts

  • Add a Beam Panel Schedule to a Panel Drawing

    When open the panel drawing, the parts of the beam panel and its label are displayed in the views.

    You can add a beam panel schedule to the panel drawing by using the context-sensitive menu function Add View to Panel Drawing. Select the view type Schedule and the option Beam elements from the list. Select a location for the schedule in the panel drawing.
