    I also can't find a way to get IfcBeamType instances of unequal length.:

    The following video shows how to create create an IfcColumnType:

    Creating a IfcBeamType is the same approach.

    Maybe you know this already.

    Thank you, I did not know, I see you used Ifc MaterialProfileSet in your clips, thanks will try to recreate it for IfcBeams.

    Unfortuately you have to click 'update representation', in the mesh properies, after you change the length, for the lengths to stay put.

    I made some beam instances, then cut them with a boolean to get the boundary,

    Then I wanted to changes the profile dimensions:

    They all changed back to their original length:

    I could use the boolean geometry again to cut them again, but maybe there is a smarter way,

    Is this still the official way to cut the extremities of an IfcBeam/IfcMember? Could we cut an IfcElement by another IfcElement, or else simulate it by mapping the representation of an IfcOpeningElement on the one of the element to subtract? I have to cut this IfcMember by this other IfcMember :

    Another beam question,

    1. When I add an IfcBeamType A instance, it creates a profile

    2. When I add another different IfcBeamType B instance, it uses the same rectulangar profile

    3. I tried creating a new profile, but I had no luck swapping the profile of the IfcBeamType B.

    Anyone else ever tried it? I also can't manage to swap the profile of the IfcBeamType instances for a completely different Profile.

    Bumping this thread for future reference,

    I think it's possible to build a beam system with changin span direction and swapping profiles using an IfcSpace as a boundary perimeter.

    Hello. After tinkering with BBIM modelling a little while I think I am ready to start creating my roof framing (i.e. rafters and purlins). Kindly advise the best approach and how to go about it to create my first ‘beam system’ in BBIM. Thank you.
