Beam / girder (Rough)
ARC-BEAM
Rough dimensions according to structural engineering for beams and girders in design development and permitting stages.
Description
- Coarsely dimensioned beam geometry according to the structural concept.
- Used for coordination between architecture and structural engineering, not for execution planning.
Modelling guidelines
- Model as a simplified volume; dimensions according to the structural sketch.
- Do not model reinforcement, inserts, or detail connections.
- Early: concept via sketches as structural sketch in the architecture model; verify exclusion zones from the structural engineer.
- Later: align the same components with Reference in the structural model as well.
- Use an IfcMaterial that corresponds to the actual material class.
