Hi,

I am wondering, is it possible to set the beams up in a way that they would join like those on the image below? I mean, probably it is (this image shows up when i look for 'revit beams joins bent' in google, nevertheless i have no idea how to model them in revit..i wish they joined softly, not with sharp edges on the joint.

I will be really thankful for help!

(using Revit 2013)

 I'm afraid the thing they used on the image is just a wall created on a face of a mass. but maybe someone knows how to do such a thing with beams. I don't need the beams themselves to be bent, only the joints to be "soft"

You are not going to get "beams" to work this way.  I would assume that most if not all of the exterior is created using massing. The "trusses" on the interior would most likely be created as a family you would need to create.
