Snap to the slab
- Scans every beam in the active view
- Computes the slab elevation at each beam, sloped slabs included
- Writes offsets in one transaction, undone in one step
STRUCTURE & SITE
Snap Beam to Slab.
Adjust each beam's elevation offset so its top meets the slab top right at that location — scanning the active view and following sloped slabs.
01 · THE PROBLEM
Under a sloped drainage floor or a ramp, every beam needs its own elevation offset so its top sits flush against the slab right at that spot — Revit doesn't compute this for you, so engineers measure the slab elevation at each beam and type the number into Start/End Level Offset by hand.
đo tay từng dầm
Measuring the slab elevation at every beam via a spot elevation or section
On a sloped slab, the underside elevation changes continuously along its length — there's no shortcut, so a spot elevation or a check section has to be taken at each beam before you can work out the offset value to type in.
2 giá trị/dầm
Every beam needs both a Start and an End offset calculated separately
A beam under a sloped slab sits at a different elevation at each end, so the Start and End Level Offset have to be worked out separately — doubling the amount of measuring and typing for every beam in the sloped zone.
lộ khi clash
A miscalculated offset only shows up in a clash run or a 3D view
A mistyped offset leaves a gap or an overlap between the beam top and the slab underside — a small error like this rarely shows up in a plan view, only surfacing later during a clash run or a 3D walkthrough.
02 · FEATURES
What it does
The Beam Elevation command in Graitec's PowerPack for Revit only computes and displays the beam's top and bottom elevation as reference parameters — engineers still read the number and type the offset into each beam themselves. Snap Beam to Slab doesn't stop at computing: it writes the offset straight into each beam in one transaction, right where the beam meets the slab, sloped slabs included:
