The ability to control the cut angle of beams

It would be nice to have a little bit more control over the beam tool.
Currently then beam will only have a vertical end cut to it. Now that we are using custom profiles, especially for steel sections, having control over the cutting planes in the beam are important.
Also, for multi material surfaces in then beam, it would be nice to have control over the materials at the end of the beam instead of a global end material.
Cheers,

The ability to have multiple cutting planes using various shapes, and for them to show on plan would be great.

I would also like beams to better resolve themselves between beams that change slope... I.E. A horizontal beam to a sloped beam (usually round sections used in railings).

Add to that the ability to curve a beam to.
it is a pain not having to switch to walls to curve in plan and still no ability to curve in the vertical plane.
