Cut angle on framing member

[SDeckB]

I am framing a deck manually and would like to cut an angle on the beams. Can you tell me how to put an angle on the end of these boards. 

Thank you!

There are a series of tools on your active toolbar that will work for that sort of operation depending on the exact situation. For that particular problem you posted I would likely use the "Extend" tool.  The "Trim" or "Mitre" and "Lap" tools can also be quite handy as well.

Keep in mind that not all trim / extend functions work the same. Using a CAD line versus another framing member to perform the trim / extend operation will give you different results. Some will generate a bevel, while others will keep a square cut.

To miter two pieces, make sure they are short from the connection before using the miter tool.
