Complex profile beam not following shape

[Nadinehmk]

I would like the complex profile to follow the shape of my roof... but unfortunately the beams junction doesn't follow the shape of the roof as it is supposed to and as my colleague on Revit can draw it. Is there a way to be able to make it follow the roof with a proper junction ? 

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon Sequoia 15.2

Hello Nadinehmk,

You'll have to find the right angle for a proper junction.

You can calculate the angel with a label.

You can't transition in two different directions at one single point.

You must come along the front flat, then turn 90° to the rear - also flat.

This give you the first transition.

Now you can rake up along the roof edge.

Exactly as in the Revit image.

The horizontal transition around the corner can be very short in length, but it can not be zero.

Short enough so the top is zero length, but the base must have a positive length.
