Beam Panel as a Sub Panel

A beam panel can be a sub panel in a wall, floor, roof or truss panel. This requires that all the parts of the beam panel are connected to the panel in question. Example:

• Add Parts

  Add the parts to a panel by using the Beams, Columns > Profile function, for example.
