Revit Structure
Structural beam systems (bays) create a single structural framing element that contains a series of individual beams placed in parallel. The beam system provides a quick method for framing an area of a structure that requires additional support.

Example of a structural beam system
Beam system parameters adapt to changes in the design. If a column is relocated, the beam system parameters adapt to the changes automatically.
Example of a structural beam system and parametric adaptation after column is relocated
There are 2 ways to create a beam system:
- The one-click beam system method is active by default. See Creating a One-Click Beam System.
- You can also sketch beam systems into a model. See Creating a Structural Beam System.
The Option Bar provides the beam system parameters for both creation methods, such as beam type, justification, and layout requirements. For more information, see Beam System Layout Rules and Patterns.
