travetti union zone holm roof

[Stefano.bp]

Good evening to all, I find myself having to model a roof that provides a vegetable garden.
I managed to position the beams in the desired way using the beam system function.
my question is how can I cut the beams in a perpendicular way to the ground in the area of the ridge?
I noticed that the family of beams owns a property called roof slope which varies the inclination of the cut in the area that interests me, but it is practically impossible to determine the correct cut.
Can someone tell me if you can cut them properly?
I attach image where I deliberately accentuated the overlap zone of the beams. . .
thanks and a greeting to all.

Hello, so to the eye if you give them roof gradient 30% goes well...

the families of the beams are cut if the family itself have been applied solids of subtraction (empty) on the themes, adjustable with "the corner".
if I do not err, in the family forum and in the nirvana archway, there are families of beams that can be used as an example.

good evening, the problem is that no cut, with the parameter indicated in the property window as slope roof you can change the cut angle.
the fact is that even leading to a very strong zoom you cannot and to determine a precise cut, I explain better I would like the cut to happen along the perpendicular to the plane, but size geometry does not work on the beams, and union geometry ends up making disappear the line that indicates where the beams are touched.. .
exists some way or I really must to the eye (God hope not!!!)
Thank you.

good evening, but if you know the exact slope of the roof I don't think it's so difficult...:wink:. it was also 31.19% giving him that value. . .
