Hello, I want to obtain the real length of the beams (discounting the columns with which they intercept), I have not been able to achieve it for the inclined beams, any recommendation. Thank you.

Could you also upload the rvt file?
It does not allow me to upload the file, it weighs a lot
What I want to obtain is the real length of the beam. (Discounting the columns with which it intercepts)
A+B+C
If you have the b and h as properties of the beam (which I expect you do).
Take the sum of the volumes and divide by the area.
Nodes that will help you are

Yes, that has indeed been the solution I have always had, but I tried to change the method when I had to develop a beam that was not rectangular and was also inclined. for now I have created a beam section area parameter and I do the division of the volume over the area.
split the beam at the collumns
make 3 different beams
Get the location line of the beam and split it with the geometry of the beam, then rally the total length. I believe this will account for the slope but can’t test.
How can I divide the line with the geometry?
Geometry.intersect
Thanks!!..
