How to make a sloped cut to a column at its top?

I'm currently modeling a parking lot that has a sloped floor, beams and slabs must follow that sloped as well. I'm having trouble trying to model properly the column with a sloped cut at its top (pictures below), how can I work it around. 

Yet with, bearing walls, it seems to perform this as it should (picture below also).

With bearing walls there is no problem:

Hi @PavelAnd

Try the attach and detach options.

I find it works really well for structural columns. 

 

Can be done for reference planes, could also be attached to U/S of slabs and beams. 

 

Have to make sure of the following:

  • Attach Column - Top or Bottom 
  • Attachment style - Cut Column
  • Attachment Justification - Maximum Intersection

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your feedback! I figured out a way for working this around. 

I changed the column style from Vertical to Slanted End Point Driven, and switched for a tangent attachment at the base and top, when attaching the column to a reference plane that follows the same slope as the ramp. Picture below of the end result:
