Cut beam from floor

[mike.vroegindeweij]

When I'm using a steel and concrete combined, a beam is in the floor, but it has to cut from the floor. Is it possible that:

-Concrete beams automaticly join with the floor
-Steel beams cuts out of the floor
-Precast concrete handle like now.

Maybe in other countries it is different so, in structural settings the possibility to change this things.

And can the same thing be done with columns.

-Concrete columns, join with wall[if wall is made of concrete otherwise cuts it]
-Steel columns cuts out of the wall
-Precast concrete cuts out of the wall.

I'd like that this goes automaticly.

Thank you.

Are you saying you want the volume of concrete to be reduced automatically by the volume of a steel beam if they intersect?

That is also a point, but it is, of the drawings, sometimes the beam's hatch is visible, sometimes the floor's hatch over the hatch of the beam.

You may want to make sure the structural material family parameter is set to concrete. This should allow the beam to join with other concrete of the same material definition.
