here is attached the start of the first floor of my project, this first floor is half suspended, that´s why it has a beam on the low part.... 1-I want to know how to convert this lower and upper beams made of conceptual mass in "real" beams (that revit can recognize them as structural components, assingn a meterial etc..)once I've exported it to a revit project. I really need to now if I can do this in order to decide if it worths to continue or not.. other doubt : 2-is that I need to asign a glass floor to on it, this conceptual model is nly the structural part... how can I put right on this structural floor that "epidermis" ?

1. You can assign "Material" to those elements BUT you can't convert that to other category, in this case structural, like you can see in my image. I don't think this is a good idea to create this kind of beams in a "Mass" family. 2. Just create a floor with the thickness you want and change the material to Glass.

If you don´t think is a good idea to create that kind of beams in a mass family what would you suggest?, what's to way to make an "organic" structure?

I know this post is really old but I've been having a really hard time as a new Revit user creating certain items. I've probably spent 3 hours trying to learn how to mass a special roof joist / rafter / beam (get these terms in for seach purposes). The problem was I could easily build the model but it would get locked to the plane I built the rafter on and I couldn't array it down the ridge of the roof. Simple fix, make it a wall!!! Viola!!
THANKS!!
