Hello! this is my first time in Augi forum.
I have this problem: I want to put a 2-points beam between two structural columns and the beam usually starts and ends in the middle of the column. I would change the geometry of the beam using an offset parameter in order to make the beam arrive to the exterior faces of the column or more far.
If I try to put this parameter (using reference plane in the family editor), in family editor is all right, but when I load the family in the project nothing happens. That's to say: altough I change the value of the offset parameter, the geometry of the beam remains the same. If beam material is precast concrete or steel the parameter works.
how can I do that?
I think the problem could be with left an right member reference plane...I really don't know how use them.
could you help me?
thanks,
Paolo
