inclined column

[marcknapen]

How can I create a structural column which is not vertical but inclined?

You'll probably have to make it out of an in-place family or a generic model family and then turn it into a Structural Column Category

I think I would use a beam for this situation. Basically columns are vetical in revit, beams can slope and the analysis of a sloped column would want to be done like a beam I think.

Very good point.

Marc,

I had help with this from a previous posting on this forum. So I am attaching the inclinded column from the result of the discussion.
