Beams that fall at a location where two uniform floors meet in the center of the beam will produce similar results regardless of which sampling density has been set in the Preferences menu.  Whether the beam is sampled at one point or many points, the sampling will return matching trib conditions at all points, resulting in a uniform linear load in the ENERCALC SEL interface.

When the two sides of the beam do not exhibit identical loading, the loads will be separated in the ENERCALC SEL interface to reflect the behavior modeled in Revit.
