Architecture Encapsulate Selected Structural Beam

Architecture / Casings writes to model Public API · not yet exposed

Coming soon

Before you run this

One Structural Framing element selected. Fire-rated encasement type defined for each rating in the project. Beam fire rating defined either on the element or in the user input.

After it runs

One fire-rated encapsulation element built around the beam at the cover thickness needed for the rating; rating + cover written as parameters on the encapsulation; beam itself untouched.

When to use this

Don't use this when

Concrete beams (already self-protecting in most cases), bespoke intumescent paint specs, or beams where the rating differs along the span.

Decision flow

1. Read the selected beam's profile and fire rating.
2. Look up the fire-rated encasement type and cover thickness for that rating.
3. Extrude the casing along the beam length at the cover offset.
4. Place the casing in one Transaction, set rating + cover on the casing element.
5. Report casing id, rating used and cover thickness.

What you'll see in the chat

on start
I'll encapsulate that beam with fire-rated board now.
thinking
Reading the beam's fire rating and applying the matching cover from the project standard.
on success
Done — beam encapsulated to {rating} fire rating with {cover} mm board cover.
on failure
Couldn't encapsulate the beam: {error}.
