 I&amp;#39;m having some problems to model a wall with a sloped beam, basically, I need to reshape some plates to match the sloped beam but I&amp;#39;m been unable to do it. Unfortunately, I&amp;#39;m not so savvy with plate modeling therefore, I hope</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Reshaping plates</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/457279?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Apr 2018 05:22:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:1e7a5348-5366-48e2-9751-b495f01dd82b</guid><dc:creator>Abhisek M</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;There are different ways to do it. The simplest way to do it using parametric meshing. You will find an option &amp;quot;Slab/wall connection&amp;quot; under geometry tab. Using that you can generate the meshing in that region. The first and second point of your selection must lie on meshed panel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The other option is you can create points there using dummy members which you need to delete after getting the points. Then you can add plates manually with those points.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I will prefer the first one. Please see attached file for slab/wall connection icon location marked with red.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
