This is an example of what can be achieved with a convoluted custom profile beam [tilted], cut in a free form using a slab with a free form opening as a SEO Operator - subtract with upward extrusion.

Dwight's method should work in any version from 10 to 14.

thank you Dwight.
But I am still confused how to create a free shaped surface with Profile Manager. I would know how to create an edge profile of this surface, I only need to choose the spline that surrounds this free surface of mine. But how to create a surface itself?
