Edit Beam command

A new command is available for the Beam module in IMPACT 17 for Revit which is called "Edit Beam", and that allows the IMPACT users to edit the already drawn beams in model. The new command makes it possible to edit single or multiple beams at the same time. 

The new command in IMPACT 17 Revit makes it also possible to edit the beams and the prestressed beams.
