I believe you mean plumb cut when you say "flush cut".
Use the roof tool with the eave and ridge edges set to perpendicular.

Rod,
I am assuming that he does NOT want a plumb cut.
AC 10s sloped beam always makes a plumb cut.

Yes, I did mean a plumb cut when I said flush. Thanks for the response-- I found the roof tool works just fine for what I'm doing.

If deivclayton wants a plumb cut, why the original query, and why would he now want to use the roof tool? Unless he really wants a cut perpendicular to the beam end.

Sorry, I plumb cut is what the beams do, and I wanted perpindicular cuts. Unfortunately, AC10 assumes that we architects always want our beams to intersect something. Sometimes I just want a beam perpindicular cut to be out there as part of an element. Once I get past the conceptual stage of this project, I'll probably convert much of this undulating form into modules of GDL objects, but I need to figure out what the series of wood pieces need to look like and their positions and sizes. The roof tool does work better for this, though I wish AC10 could be more flexible with beams and columns, but at least AC10 has sloping beams now.
