I have Revit 8 on my laptop and I have seen that I can put beams and things like that in on it, but I am working on revit 7 at my work and I cant seem to find how to put beams accros my house under my roof. Is there anyway to do beams or something like 4x4 post running horizontaly?

The top of beam will be on the working plane you place it on. You can adjust its offset parameter from there. The beam can be any family shape you assign it. For a 4x4 use a wood beam family and adjust the width & heigth parameters accordingly to create a new family type.

"Ok, but how do I even make a beam in Revit 7?"
You add a component, in this case, it'll be a dimensional lumber (one is in your library). It is a parametric family so you enter in the depth and width you want. BUT remember that you may want to first set your working plane to the roof surface!
After you've put it in, you can edit the end profile to suit the trim on the ends of your rafters by using the....sorry, I can't tell you offhand the name of the tool needed (I haven't got Revit on the computer I'm using currently)

Go through the tutorials on using families and the family editor.
