NOTE You can save the open file if you wish. Rather than having you add beam systems to the dozens<br />

of bays within this model, a new training file is provided in the next exercise with the beam systems<br />

added as shown.<br />

29 Proceed to the next exercise, Adding Cantilevered Beams on page 160.<br />

Adding Cantilevered Beams<br />

In this exercise, you add cantilevered members and outriggers to Level 2.<br />

Training File<br />

■ Click File menu ➤ Open.<br />

■ In the left pane of the Open dialog, click Training Files, and open <strong>Metric</strong>\m_RST_CSM_3.rvt.<br />

In this new training file, beam systems have been added to all bays. The visibility of structural framing tags<br />

has been turned off in the Level 2 plan view. In addition, the structural framing on Levels 3 and 4 (that you<br />

built in the first lesson of this tutorial) has been deleted for training purposes. Lastly, the base offset of the<br />

structural columns on the lower level has been set to zero so they will attach to the footings.<br />

Add cantilevered members and outriggers<br />

1 In the Project Browser, under Structural Plans, double-click Level 2.<br />

2 On the View toolbar, click , and draw a zoom box around the upper-left corner of the<br />

model.<br />
