mattivester Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I've partially managed to accomplish my goal of creating "X" shaped beams in a tray ceiling, but I'm just not sure how to miter the ends so that the plan view looks correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 If you build those out of polylines and then convert them to solids, that is probably the fastest way to achieve what you want. Otherwise, if there is some reason that those objects need to report to a material list as beams, hide those objects on a layer and make the polyline objects in plan view and show that layer in the plan view instead of the beams.

SNestor Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 You can create the beams using the solid tool...and solids can be shaped like a polyline. Draw them in plan view...set desired width, depth. Rotate the solid to 45 degrees. The pull the end into the corner from the middle of the beam. Then, using the #3 key, put a break in the end of the solid and pull the sides to align with the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 As others have mentioned, a 3D solid (nee: polyline solid) is probably the easiest method. If you must have framing members, they can be mitered at the ends by trimming them with other framing members: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
