How to cut a column with a sloped top

Hi everyone.

I have been trying to cut a regular architectural vertical column with some incline in the top but haven't succeed yet.

I have tried to cut the top to a reference plane as I have seen in some tutorials but it doesn't work.

I have also tried to attach the top to a sloped beam on top of the column but it only makes contact keeping the top side horizontal.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks so much.

Did you try the coping tool?

Create a void extrusion in the family in an elevation view and constrain the sketch to the ref planes.

Lock the end point of the sketch line to the upper level and add an angled dimension parameter to control the angle.

The 100 dimension is also locked, you want the extrusion to extend above the column so that the angle parameter can handle a 0deg value.

The coping tool does not work on architectural columns. It only works on structural columns. They are two different column types.

That can be something.

Why don't you just Join Geometry? Join Geometry removes volume at the union.

Solved.

The columns MUST be structural.

What was the solution?

I assume he switched the columns to structural columns and used the coping tool which was mentioned previously by both myself and @mhiserZFHXS

Am I "he"?  

 

If so, I just used Join Geometry tool and joined the Columns to a Roof in the screenshot example.

No I was responding to your question about what the actual solution was that OP used as OP just said structural column MUST be used and did not actually say what else he did.

Isn't there a simpler way within the main file?
I've seen in a tutorial that cutting to a ref plane works but I'm not sure
whether this feature is not available in revit 2024 or whether the beam and
column families involved must be of a certain kind?
In any case do you know of any video depicting your solution?
Thanks

Is it a Structural Column? If so, and it isn't cutting back to a Ref. Plane,  it's probably because the Material For Model Behavior is set to Concrete.  Set to something else.

Attach columns (arch or struct) to a ref plane and set Maximum Intersection.
