I would like to show a stone coping on a portion of a building.

Is there a way to make a stone profile to do what is shown in the attached image by using Complex Profiles or is there another way (sweep, Object, etc.)

I'm new so speak slowly...

Unless I am not understanding you, I have found that angled beams do miter in x/y/z correctly as long as the profile is appropriate to the function. It's just conditions like classical rake/cornice joints that require special attention.
hmmmm. I must be missing something as the ends of the beams are always vertical for me.

Im talking about a custom profile with two beams end on end and one angled.
Maybe I'm missing something. I'll have to look into it some more.
