Notice the 12 columns that you added.
Next, you add the beams that span the columns.
19 In the Project Browser, under Floor Plans, double-click TOP OF CORE.
20 On the tab of the Design Bar, click Beam.
Adding a beam is a two-click process. The first click specifies the beam start point. The second
click specifies the end of the beam.
21 In the Type Selector, select Round Bar : 50mm.
22 Add the first beam between the upper left and right columns by using the following steps:
■ Zoom in on the upper-left column, and click at its center to set the beam start point.
■ Zoom out and move the cursor over the upper right column.
■ Zoom in on the upper right column, and click on the center to set the beam endpoint.
Use the following illustration as a guide. In it, two callouts with thin lines have been added to
clarify the location of the start and end points of the beam.
23 On the Design Bar, click Modify.
24 Select the Beam you added previously.
The beam needs to be added between the remaining columns. You can do this manually or use
the Copy command.
