Ahh, I see we are a version apart!
The new beam tool is a clever development, a huge advance even if the bugs are still being fixed, it is pretty stable and I am working with it every day.
Unfortunately Graphisoft have always separated beams and columns by limiting beam inclines to < 89 degrees from horizontal and columns as > 1 degree from horizontal. Which in my book, even as an old hand, is a bit archaic in modern software. So although you can create complex shapes, including curves, by chaining beams together with the new tool, as soon as they are chained they can’t be inclined, neither can an isolated curved segment. It just seems like they have developed a fantastic linear element tool, but missed that it would be very useful to freely rotate the beam in 3D without having to resort to converting it to a morph and loosing all the parametric data in the process.
Does that help? It is difficult to appreciate the potential of this new tool if you haven’t played with it.
