Soldier Beam

On the Icon project the soldier beams extend out into the parking garage.  The question is to leave them in place or cut them flush to the wall.  Adjusting the soldier beams in the BIM model per the field locations gives a quick look at the impact it would have on the MEP systems to help with the design decision.  Quick images like this will also help clarify and expedite the RFI  process.
