I have no more ideas. Send a postcard. LOL
I've described two ways to show a beam and neither are what you are looking for? Then forget my previous suggestions as I don't think anyone has gone through the trouble to do what you are requesting. Until I see an image posted here at the CADforum I think I'll have to stop.
Are you drawing a beam in elevation view? If so, front side or right/left side?
Somehow, some way, you should be able to describe, in words, what view of a beam you are drawing. How tough can it be? Pick a number: The beam shown below is a W250x200x49.1

Does Autocad LT have multilines? Try the MLINE command or maybe the DLINE command. |

Looks like we have a winner folks. It's number 3! Yeah!
1 - Top view. 2.- Front view. 3.- Side view. Try the suggestions Cad64 provided and let us know if that works for you. |

Have you checked your Autocad Help files?
In full Autocad there is MLINE, MLSTYLE and MLEDIT, so maybe there are similar commands in Autocad LT for DLINE? I don't know? |

You're talking about "Caps" I believe. What I mean by that is the open ends of your dlines are capped (closed) off. This feature can be turned On/Off at the command line.
For those of you using full AutoCAD who fondly remember DLine from your LT days and wish you had it now, the South Plains AutoCAD Users Group has a tweaked version of the routine in AutoLISP form at their website free for the downloading. It is aptly named DLINE.LSP and can be accessed via the link below.
DLine options include: Break, Caps, Close, Dragline, Snap, Undo and Width.
