Inclined option for curved beam

Hi,

I remark that the inclined option is not available for curved beam in AC 17. Is there another way to do so ?

Make the beam much deeper than you need.
Place a roof for the top slope and Solid Element Operation it with upward extrusion.
Place another roof for the bottom slope and SEP with downward extrusion.
Hide the roofs in a hidden layer so the SEOs keep working.

Or turn the flat curved beam into a morph and rotate it in 3D.

Or create it from a shell and rotate it.

Barry.

Why don't you make it a poll?
