Hi -

I already had a model (9storeys) with walls and columns but now need to insert the beams for my structural drawings.

When I insert the beam on the floor plan it allows me to select the columns it will run between and acts as if it is placed and then I get this message " None of the created elements are visible in Floor Plan: Level 1 View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings, as well as any Plan Regions and their settings."

Everything on the Visibility settings of the view is turned on so I dont know why I cant see them??

I want to label them also with the beam size but cant find them to click on to begin with.

Any help asap would be great!

You need to check your view range iin the properties.  The beams are most likely set above your view range and that is why you are getting that message.
