The plugin allows you to create two kinds of parametric beams: wooden beams with many ready-to-use profiles and extruded beams by drawing their section.
A control point let you graphically choose the position where the beam will tilt and where it will have the specified elevation. You can create groups of beams and choose among 5 types of different coverings: simple panel, secondary beams, sliding cover (single or multiple) and custom profile. You can purchase a license in the store.Learning resources:
