Had a customer request a deck/pergola drawing with 2x10s tilted for the pergola shade. Couldn't get anything to tilt...you can angle them on the other two axis, but not on the one I need. I remembered that solids can slope with reference, and that they can reference to a floor. Floor systems have to be level, but a slab can be sloped. So I drew a slab underneath the "2x10" solid and gave it slope. Attached File  tilted 2x10s.jpg   116.46KB   1 downloadsAttached File  the secret.jpg   115.36KB   1 downloads

Great "outside the box" thinking!
