Auto Lintel Beams for Revit — 593 Beams in One Click | ArchPlug Tutorial

Placing a lintel beam above every window and door, one by one? Forget it. This plugin drops a beam above every single opening in your whole building — hundreds of them — in one click. In the tutorial the plugin places 593 lintel beams above the doors and windows of a large residential building in a single run. WHAT IT DOES • One click places a lintel above every window and door in the model • Choose the beam family — concrete, timber, steel, whatever is loaded in your project • Set how far the beam extends past the opening, separately for windows and for doors, in your project units (cm, mm or inches) • Set how high the beam sits above the opening • Wall-type rules: map each wall type to its own beam type, so a 20 cm exterior wall gets a 20×20 beam while a 10 cm interior wall gets a 10×20 — with a default beam for everything else • Full update logic — change any parameter and hit Run; existing beams simply update, nothing to delete • Hide / Unhide all beams in the 3D view • Export and import your whole setup as a template Full tutorial recorded in Revit on real projects, from a small model to a large residential building. ———————————————— ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 Placing lintels one by one — forget it 0:16 ArchPlug Settings — account, updates, licence, theme 1:00 The test model and its two wall types 1:23 First run — beams above every opening 1:47 A large residential building — 593 beams in one click 2:30 The settings window explained 2:42 Choosing the beam family 2:54 Beam extension past windows 3:30 Beam extension past doors 3:39 Raising the beam above the opening 4:01 Wall-type rules — a different beam per wall type 5:35 The update principle — no need to delete beams 6:38 Checking the result per wall type 7:23 Saving and importing templates 8:27 Updating beams on a large building 9:38 Hide / Unhide all beams 9:58 Where to get the plugin ———————————————— 🔗 FREE 14-DAY TRIAL — no credit card required https://archplug.com 🎁 LAUNCH OFFER — 40% OFF until 22 September 2026 🎓 30% student & teacher discount 💼 Bundle of all 7 plugins — $395 (regular $659) ♾ One-time purchase — free minor & patch updates forever, new Revit versions included ✔ Works with Revit 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027 ✔ Windows only ———————————————— 🧩 MORE ARCHPLUG PLUGINS One Click Line Dimensions · Auto Room Dimensions · Automatic Room Naming & Scheduling · Smart Auto Tagging · Auto Lintel Beams · One Click Roof Structure · Fast Script Launcher 👉 https://archplug.com 📩 Questions or feature requests: archplug.rs@gmail.com ———————————————— ⚠ DISCLAIMER ArchPlug is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Autodesk, Inc.
