It looks like you need your beams to slope with your slab. One option that may work in this situation is to redraw your beams using the pick line command and selecting the edge of your slab.

When you do this it may be best to work in 3D view and make sure 3D snapping is turned on (you will see this option once you start the beam command).

If this doesn't work let me know because there are other methods you can try.

Well said @raymond.williams,

You have to rotate beams in-order to connect the beam to floor, also you can use slab edge, customized framing family etc., Thanks.

I cant draw floor boundary in 3D view. When i use Pick line and pick to beam, Floor Boundary draw in work plan, not in 3D view. Can you try draw in my attachments? Tks you so much.

First off why did you redraw the slab. You already had it sloping the way you needed it to. You were supposed to redraw the beams. The key here is to set your workplane. In the images you attached you have the "LEVEL" set to "FOUNDATION" and thats why it drew your slab down there.

So to fix this:

First put your slab back the way it was in your original post.
Then redraw the beams using the method I outlined in my previous post. DON'T FORGET TO SET YOUR WORKPLANE. You should be able to use the top of slab as your workplane.

Workplane Toolbar

If your workplane is set correctly when you draw your new beams they should follow the slope of your slab.

I haven't heard back from you in a while regarding this. Did you get it to work? Are you still having issues?

Hi @bao1296

You can use the Modify Sub Elements command to change the height of points and edges of the floor.

In your example it looks like this:

To get even more flexibility in your designs you can use a Swept blend with the curved path and profiles at different heights.

I added such an example to your file (see attachment)

The ramp and beams start at 0 and climb up.

Of course you can model the initial floor as well.
