edit wall elevation shape

Anonymous

I have experimented a bit and looked everywhere to try to edit the elevation shape of a wall composite element, no luck so far. The beam tool sort of allows it.

Is it possible to alter the elevation shape of a composite wall into, for instance, a polygon shaped element (in elevation)? End, bottom, and/or top edges?

E.G. a 30 foot long garden wall whose top slopes down from 8 feet to 4 feet. and one end is angled at about 60 degrees?

And, while we're at it > a slab that slopes?

Have you tried partially trimming or SEOing the top of the wall with a sloped hidden roof (or roofs) perhaps?

To make a wall follow the terrain, I sometimes use a simple solid mesh with nodes positioned where I need to make it change angle. I then SEO the underside of the mesh to the terrain to neaten it up. Unfortunately you cant use composites directly.

Regarding a slab that slopes, how about using a roof?
