Create a Slanted Beam

Set Slant Angle in Beam Settings

1. From Beam Settings (Beam page, Positioning panel) or the Info Box, choose the Slanted icon.
2. Enter a slant angle in degrees.

   
   
   

   The value must be between -89° and +89°, and is measured from the starting point of the Beam.

3. Choose a Placement Method from the Info Box, then place the column.

Two-Click Beam Input

1. Choose the Single Beam method from the Info Box.

   
   
   

2. Click twice to place each end of the Beam.
3. In the 3D window:
   • Snap the endpoints to existing elements
   • Click Shift to constrain input to an editing plane.

     
     
     

     Note: If the Beam already has a defined slant angle (in Settings or Info Box), the slant angle prevails, regardless of the constraint.

An existing, vertically curved Beam can also be slanted.
