By popular request...this week’s video demonstrates how to Create a Steel Ladder Beam using Building Objects. When constructing a steel ladder beam, utilizing building components can save time and is essential for creating ramps, roofing structures, and other angled designs as the components can be rotated. This approach provides a more accurate representation within the design, making it one of the most sought-after techniques among Avontus Designer users.
