When i try to add a beam by picking a line it places the beam on the ground, eventough 3d snapping is checked. I don't know why becease it worked on the other beams but not on this one. You can see it in the picture, what's going wrong?

Your image doesn't really tell us much. are you sure your not picking a wrong line? What is a pipe beam?  Is this a custom family you created?

It just doesn't create a beam on the line I'm picking like it did with the others already there. I downloaded this pipe beam from revit city, it says it's structural framing

Are you sure you are picking the correct line and not something on the floor?  When you hover over the line Revit will tell you what it is on the bottom left corner.

I really am selecting my conceptual mass, like you can see in this picture. Still it will create it on the floor, I could upload the file if you think you know how to fix it?

Without doing it and I don't work with masses often, That looks pretty vertical, could you try using a column family instead of a beam just to see what happens?
