I am trying to set a curve on a horizontal piece....setting a smart tag on the bottom chord is fine...but I also want to set one on the top chord as well. The smart tags won't let me do this. I also have tried to do it manually in the wall module although this does not seem to work for curves...???
curves on 2 sides

Hi Eric,
I do not understand, in which part of program you are trying, and what shall be the result?
There are no curves available in the program; you can only use straight lines or circle lines (or part of it). In Dicam full version you can create them wherever you want, but not in light version.

I started by trying in D-CAM and the smart-tag won't let me insert a curve on the top...only the bottom. Afterwards I also tried in wall design to set (6) process, (3) cuts, (1) cut-off on a curved assymetric line, but it would not recognize the curved line.

Hi Eric,
I still cannot understand, what you want to do.
Could you please upload a picture, how the result should look like? -
Hi Eric,
if you want to create the back curve just for visualization (you cannot transfer this process to the machine), do the following steps:
-Create the curve at the bottom of the beam.
-Make a copy of the beam and move it up by the width of later "curved beam"
-Then use the function "2-7-1 Intersect", the copy is the "hard beam", the original is the "soft beam"
-Delete the copy of the beamBest regards,
Jens
