Adding A 3D Beam System - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

The elevation of the end of a beam in a beam system is determined as follows:
If the end of the beam connects to a sketch line that defines slope, the beam is connected to the top of
the associated support.
Define slope
If the sketch line does not define slope, then the end of the beam is elevated to a plane defined by the
end points of the two nearest sketch lines that do define slope.
Beam system elevated by nearest sketch lines
If there are no lines in the sketch that define slope, the beam system behaves like a 2D beam system.
