Hi All
Not sure why I can not find any good info on Lintels / Concrete Beams over openings anywhere. You would think this would be a great tool like a Door and Window when finalizing your CD's!?
I use ACAD 2009 Architectural where I can put a 3D wall over another, change the Layer, give it a nice Hatch and Done; a Lintel over an Opening. SEE PIC 02 OF EXAMPLE
Attached I made a (good start) of a Lintel for over an Opening.
----SEE REVIT FILE
I have it able to change the Lintel Depth & Bearing (I guess I could of made it have adjustable Bearing on each side, depending on where it's located or what it's next too; but thats easy to change)
= SEE PIC 01 ATTACHED for review
1. I need it to have/show the MAIN snapping points to grab and move <|> to match the plans openings and lock to it (Just in case an opening moves/changes size it goes with it too).
2. I would need a Tag of some sort to start a Schedule. (Was thinking a Door Tag type but not sure) Some other post had a MARK, under Identity Data, to be change to a # and be sched. not sue if thats right way to go, which might be fine too?
3. In that tag somehow also state the HEIGHT to top of wall, [Note: Lintel will be placed above opening so that should/could be the starting point of the Height part] ex:
L-14 <--- (Lintel #14)
16" DEEP <--- (or 48"W x 16"D or 4'0"W x 3'0"D) Actually the Lintel Schedule will/should show TOTAL LENGTH
My Std. TAG as of now = SEE PIC 02 ATTACHED
Also shows a Revit layout of the Lintel w/ a HATCH to indicate the location of it.
(Back to the MARK again I could add the L-14 in there and link that into tag?)
4. In Visibility, since it is a DOOR FAMILY, I can uncheck all door elements and this Fmily remains clear (Hince trying to just show the Lintel only) and hope this is a good solution. any better thoughts let me know.
Revit 2011 Arch.
Hope I was clear enough on this.
Any questions please let me know.
Thanks for the help.
