    Default End of Beam symbol - Not a Moment symbol

    We use a big round solid Dot at the end of a beam to indicate a lateral collector. Right now I'm just dropping in a Round Symbol and manually moving them around where they need to go at the beam ends. I'd like it if it can be placed how the moment symbols are placed and become part of the beam family.

    If I could mimic the behavior of moment connection it would be perfect. I'm not able to locate the moment symbol or parameter within the family.

    Any hints for me?

    Revit 2008 Structure btw...

    Thanks Sage

    Hi,
    That has been a long standing request to the developers, to add different types of symbols to the ends of the beams, like the moment symbol.

    I think we will be seeing that additional feature in an upcoming release. Until then we are stuck doing it manually.

    Well that explains why I can't find that pesky little thing.

    Thanks for the confirmation. I really appreciate it.
