Floor framing is a collection of elements, such as girders and beams that support a floor system. Framing elements are typically added after columns are placed. Beams are attached to columns and structural walls. Beams are categorized as girders, joists, braces, or purlins, depending on how they are placed. (Refer to the next page for the definitions for different beam types.) Beams can be placed in plan, section or elevation views. Use the Beam tool instead of the Beam System tool to add beams individually if a structure has irregular bay spacing or shape, Disable the Tag check when placing beams in a framing plan to keep the plan view less cluttered. Duplicate the view and have one view with the tags placed and one view without tags. Use the view without tags while placing elements and modifying the structure.

Purlins support the loads from the roof deck or sheathing and are supported by the principal rafters and/or the building walls, steel beams etc. The use of purlins, as opposed to closely spaced rafters, is common in pre-engineered meial building systems and some timber frame construction, A girder isa large main supporting beam, commonly of steel or reinforced conerete, that carries a heavy transverse (crosswise) load. In a floor system, beams and joists transfer their loads to the girders, which in turn frame into the columns. A joist is any wood, steel, or concrete beam set parallel from wall to wall or across abutting girders to support a floor or ceiling A brace is a structural member used to stiffen framework.Placing Framing Command Exercise Exercise 2-1 — Add Structural Framing Drawing Name: framing.rvt Estimated Time to Completion: 45 Minutes Scope Load Beam Family Add steel girders Add beams between girders Tag beams ‘Mirror and copy beams Solution Structural Plans Activate the FIRST FLR. plan under Structural plans.
