Beam End Shape

[antman]

Is it possible to apply a custom shape to the end of a beam? Do I have to use an in-place mass or a generic model family instead?

You can use ref planes as cutting planes for beam ends. Use the Cut tool. You can cut a beam end with 2 separate ref planes, or a grid line and a ref plane. Haven't tried a curved beam end or anything fancy.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I am trying to do something somewhat fancy, like this:

You can use the opening by face or add a void in the family
