Non-Parallel Section

[Anonymous]

I want to create sections parallel to beams that are at random angles (in plan).

How do you get the section to align parallel to it?

See attached screen shot with several beams at various angles.

Match Rotation plugin is your friend . I use it to match section boxes as well - super useful.

I think this option may help, as it is simple, and is a bit like J.Wehmer said:

1 - With the detail lines pick the edge of the beam;

2 - Draw a straight detail line that intersects the detail line on the beam and a section parallel to it;

3 - Rotate the straight detail line and the section (or just the section) to match the direction of the beam's edge's detail line.
