How to create a Beam on a 3D way?

Hello there, I am trying to create a Beam based on a 3D way.
In this example I made 4 points and then I created a Nurbs Curve by points.
Why does this workflow does not work? And what is the correct way to fix the problem?
Thank you!

What does the warning say?
Can you turn node labels on so it is easier to understand the graph

Points are not planar - you can create a plane using 3 points and then pull the remaining points onto the plane to create the curve for the beam

Interesting workflow, anyway you got my question? Is it possible to create a non-planar way and then to create on that way a beam?

hi,
Can what you are looking for be done natively in Revit?

Hi @gabriele.potenza1 you could try sweep a profile on a none planar curve, not sure it will could work for you



I am trying to create a non-planar beam: for example the deck of a bridge that goes up first, down then and for example on the left

That was my second idea. I will try later, thanks

i created this by splitting the curves in segments of 3-point arcs. and then assign a beam to the 3point arc.

arhh better to use loft i guess so :wink:

Would you please share that workflow?

It works if I use this method

Thats great :wink:

Actually I created a new instance, but I don’t think we’re done. I mean that it should be a loft, and not a new istance. I am still working on

in my example i create a profile in drafting view and then tranform on a nonplanar curve in 3d, but pull the profile on plane so the deck/profile its in plane/level, i can send the example later if you need :wink: good Luck
