Bent Beam

Does anyone know how to create a "bent" beam, e.g. 2 beams of the same section joined at the ridge by complete joint penetration weld? I can draw two slope members that meet at the ridge but that's it. Thanks.

Draw a vertical reference plane at the ridge location and then use the cut
command to cut each sloped beam.

Thanks for your tip, Jeremy. I have successfully now done it graphically. Is there a way to make it a phsyically joined member? I have a ridge beam that spans between the bent beams and right now it doesn't have anything to connect to, since REVIT thinks bent beams are hanging out in midair.

The only way I am aware of is to create a custom family.
