revit 2009. I've been messing around with beams, going from the revit structural members to making my own extrusions. What's the best way to do WOODEN beams (as in Timber Framing?) The revit structural members act wierd, and only show butt connections. I've tried to edit their families, but I noticed that they are actually sweeps, and not extrusions??? I'm trying at the moment to make a simple half-lap connection, where the lap will STAY at the end of the beam, no matter what its length is, but I can't seem to do it. Anyone can a help me?? Thanks.

You could create voids to cut out the lap. Constrain these to the end of the beam and give it parameters if they need to be adjusted.

ok thanks. I thought I might be doing something wrong. I put voids on both ends of the beam, but they are acting wierdly. Now I just need to figure out how to constrain them to the ends. I'm using the same size beams so until I have a better grasp of what I'm doing, they won't have to change size, just stay at the ends.

One way is to insert a reference plane a fixed distance from the end of the beam. Dimension it and lock the dimension. Use the align tool to align the voids with the reference plane and lock it when the padlock appears.
