Custom beams feature

leo_timmermans

Hello,

I'm trying to make some custom beams and this went quite well, but now I'm trying to make a custom beam for a roofplate. I followed the same procedure but it doesn't work. When I use the sketch and do a sweep, it works ok. I don't know what I'm doing wrong ??? Is it too big ?

Hi @leo_timmermans !

A couple things:

The link you posted doesn't really have anything in it! Did you edit it after posting this? A good rule of thumb is to paste a link to a version of a document, rather than the live document, so that you know whoever is opening it will see exactly what you want them to see.  Did you add a custom beam profile? If so, what is it's name?

If you're having trouble with custom beam profiles, maybe @NeilCooke or the end of this video can help:
