    Default Beam reactions - Where da heck are they??

    It seems that the reactions for beams are only available AFTER a model is imported from, say, RAM. Is there a way to make them available without importing from an external application? For example, on a smaller, simple structure, creating/analyzing in RAM may be overkill/more time-consuming.

    Thoughts? Suggesions?

    Thanks in advance!

    It is a project parameter that is added to structural framing, Ram adds this when you import.
    You could create your own project parameter for reactions without Ram. I assume you could fill-in the reactions by hand at that point for small jobs.
    Do not think Revit is doing much as far a running down all of your loads at this point in time, but who knows..? Revit does do some analytical checks.
    And the Revit Extensions do much more, Good Question I would also like to know more.

    Default Re: Beam reactions - Where da heck are they??

    Just yesterday, I needed to add in the start and end reactions on a project that was originally done in Revit.
    I opened another model that had the beams with the reactions; copy/pasted a random beam to my project, and deleted the copied beam.
    Now the parameter is available for ALL the beams in my project.

    HTH.

    ETA: It looks like, if I have the two projects open (one without the reactions and one with) I could have gone to Manage > Transfer Project Standards > and checked Project Parameters to get the reactions without doing the copy/paste.

    I added the parameters to our template so they'll be there for future projects.
