Curved Structural Members

[terynl]

This may be a very basic technique but I am new to drafting, how can I draw a beam with a curve in it?? Any help would be great.

Hi Teryn,
First off, congrats on the first post. Yep, there's a very simple way for you to do this.
Draw an arc where you'd like the beam to be placed, then you can right click on the beam tool and use the "apply tool to line work option", select the arc and blamo - you have a new curved beam.
Now if you want to put camber in your beam, you'll need to use a different method.
Enjoy
