Let’s first add structural steel beam of the “UB-Universal Beam” family between Grid B4 to C4 as shown in Fig 1.Turn it on, if you want to select the elements in underlay. If you want to avoid mistakenly selecting the elements displayed in Underlay, you can turn off the “Select Underlay Elements”option on the status bar.Ground level is now shown as underlay in halftone.If you want to set a different level as the top range, select the level from here. “Range: Top Level” parameter is automatically set to one level above the Base Level.In this case, select “00 Ground Level” as we want to see the layout of the Ground level as underlay. Go to the parameter “Range: Base Level” and select the level you want to underlay.In the Project Browser, open a plan view.

If you cannot see the Ground floor layout as an underlay, do the following.It helps in understanding the relationship of components at different levels for coordination and construction. Underlay is like a sheet of drawing put underneath another to use as a reference.Ensure that you can see the ground floor layout as Underlay. Navigate to the floor plan of “01 First Floor Level”.This project file already contains levels, grids, walls and a column on ground floor level. Open tutorial file ‘TutorialBeams_Input_LearningRevitOnline.rvt’ in Revit.Beam/Structural Framing Family files: “UB-Universal Beam.rfa” and “Concrete_Rectangular Beam.rfa”.“TutorialBeams_Input_LearningRevitOnline.rvt”.If you do not have the following files, please download them from here. Concrete_Rectangular Beam: 230mm x 420mm placed as shown in Fig 1.UB-Universal Beam: 254x146x43UB between Grid B4 to C4.
