Angled Beam End

[rlwade1890]

I have a LVL Beam angled in section. Does anyone know a way to plumb the ends of the beam?

I'm guessing you'll have to do one of 3 things to make this happen.

1. Use an in-place void to cut the end of the beam
2. Create your own generic family that allows you to angle the end of the beam. (Proably an easy solution if you don't use the framing plan/elevation functionality of Revit)
3. Create a structural member family that allows you to angle the end of the beam (the best long-term solution IMO).

option no. 3 is probably what i should do but families are the one thing that i am having trouble learning. does anyone have an example of a family like this created?
