Twisted Reference Plane

[npsteinr]

How can I create a twisted reference plane? I only can do one that is sloped or flat. I am trying to create beams on a twisted roof. Thank you,

Nate.

you cant....

You can get there by following the surface of a mass form

[ToanDN]

- Create a roof by face from the mass
- Create walls on plan where you want the beams and attach top to the roof
- Create beams by pick 3d lines and pick the intersections between walls and roof

Ha!

[npsteinr]

Thank you for the suggestion to mark pick 3d lines. I ended up making a grid (instead of walls) and making indiviudal beams. I was hoping to do this in the beam system comand. But this works well enough! Thank you very much for the response!

Did you do this using the method layed out by ToanDN ? Thanks, 

Nate.

No, I used the method that I said in post #3, and that @ToanDN repackaged in post #4.

Actually i think you could get a roof like this with either a slope arrow, or shape editing, no mass needed.

[ToanDN]

That is not even twisted.  It is just a flat plane and all the beams run parallel.  So a normal roof with either slope arrow, or vertical openings to cut the boundary, works.

Mine is twisted.  Beams are hosted to mass edges.  Nothing is plumb.  Reminds me of a fort I built when I was in first grade.

No, I don't know what I am doing so I am just making some low and non-intelligent comment as usual.
