Beam Cutback; Cutback Default Settings - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

Moment Symbols
The moment parameters of a beam (Connection Start or Connection End) enable the display of moment
frame or cantilever connection symbols. These parameters refer to the applicable beam endpoint. The
available options for these parameters are: None, Moment Frame, or Cantilever Moment.
To display a moment symbol
1 Right-click on a beam, and select Properties.
2 In the Element Properties dialog, under Structural, select a value for Moment Connection Start

Beam Cutback

Beam cutback is the visible representative gap in beam geometry at the connection point in join relationships.
Fabricated materials require spatial and placement considerations for which they will be cut to fit. This gap
is evident when comparing the conceptual coarse (symbolic) view to the medium/fine view of non-concrete
beams.

Cutback Default Settings

Revit Architecture adjusts the setback and cutback for non-concrete beams based on default cutback settings.
Concrete beams take precedence in mixed material joins, forcing non-concrete beams to setback and cutback.
