.beam Directory

View and change .beam directory

BEAM uses a cache file ( .beam ) based system to store and communicate data between the software.

While using BEAM in Rhino and Revit you can set, reset and open the .beam directory.

By default, the .beam directory is located at:

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Beam\Temp

To collaborate with others, set up a directory on a shared network drive. When all team members point BEAM to the same path, the .beam files can be shared across the team.

The local Temp folder holds up to 50 .beam files. Any custom directory has no limit.

Remember to perform periodic cleanups of custom .beam directories to save disk space.
