Hi, new to forum so apologies for any ineptitude.

I am working on a project which involves prefabricated pod type spaces, i have just modelled these in the normal way and grouped them for easy repetition etc.

my question is how can i create a bevelled roof / wall connection similar to this: https://www.rsh-p.com/projects/zipup-house/

I also would like to create an exposed steel beams or truss with a similar profile.

thanks in advance

I would suggest doing it as curtain wall panels.

I'm not sure what you're asking about the beams.

Thanks for your help Tim! I've actually managed to do it with a roof by profile by using a larger fillet angle. In terms of the beams, I am hoping to add castelated I-beams or open web truss in the area shown to support the roof, is there anyway I can cut an existing revit beam or will I have to create a new family?

There are standard castelated beams and open web trusses in the OTB structural framing families - are these not suitable?

Was originally hoping to have beams curve at the roof edges, but I think I can avoid the problem, thanks anyway.
