Fenno,

I use a complex profile beam for this, look in reference guide for instruction on how to do this

awesome i read that it was very helpful.

the beam works pretty good but how do i arc it around a radii and being able to change the angle running along contours

floor plan

Unfortunately the Complex Profile beam can slope but not curve, and the CP Wall can curve but not slope. The Morph tool should fix this in AC16 though.

i have AC16 but im not sure how to use the morph tool yet.

You can download this free object "ArchiCURB":

Try using OBJECTiVE. You can dynamically bend profiles to rising curves, to be used directly as construction elements or SEOs. The attached image illustrates an application of OBJECTiVE to this type of problem, where the landscaped walls follow curves in plan but rise and fall to echo the terrain.

Use Archicurb as proposed. It is a great tool. You can move the curbs' ends one by one.
