Understand W, D and Height on a beam
Learn what W, D and Height measure on a beam and how typing new values changes its length and plan width.
In a beam's panel W is the beam's length along its run, D is its width across the run in the plan, and Height is its vertical size.
On a beam placed with Architecture > Beams (W 1500, D 400, Height 300), typing W 2000 made it 2000 long.
On a beam placed with Architecture > Beams (W 1500, D 400, Height 300), typing D 300 made it 300 wide in the plan while its height stayed 300.
