Floor plan view of inclined steel beam

[Achille Pavlidis]

How to you make a floor plan view of a steel beam that has an inclination of 5 degrees with the horizontal plane?
With sections you can align the section plane to be parallel with the inclination of a wall. The same is not possible with plan views, they are always parallel to the horizontal plane.
So how do you make a plan view with measurements of a steel beam with inclination?

Achille,

I use 3D documents regularly to produce all my fabrication drawings for beams & columns including end, base & finn plates, notched ends, shims, bolt centres etc...see attached...without too much trouble. In fact, I don't think there's anything, so far (touchwood!), that I haven't been able to do.

I couldn't quite work out from your images what you're trying to do. If it's anything like the drawing attached & you could give me a bit more detail, I'll do my best to help out...
