i posted in Revit Architecture - Families before, maybe it's better to post here.
just wonder if there's limitation or best way to create structural beam "A" which consists of multiple beams of "B", but schedule or material takeoff will only count beam "B".
currently i use group method, but i prefer family way.
is it better to use generic model for beam "B" and then nest it into structural framing - beam "A", or use structural framing - beam for "B" and then nest it into another structural framing - beam "A"?
thanks.

attached rfa is the compound beam i'm currently working on, i still need to make length working, plus other issues, it's tricky for structural stuff!
