The attached image shows an in place structural component created with a curved sweep and a loaded profile. Is this what you are trying to achieve?

After I created the curved beam I unlocked it (edit the family and click on the beam - it has a padlock on that prevents it from rotating). It can then be rotated.

I think what you're trying to create isn't easy to make. It's easy to create a curved beam, and it's easy to make a beam which has a higher endpoint then the starting point. But altogether it's very hard to make, because the beam will be torn. And i guess that's not what you want.

no..... i have managed to do it but it still doesnt look right as it wants to twist. I created a sloping ref plane between the 2 points i wanted then on plan drw the curved beam to that ref plane, thus creating the curved slope i wanted but it has a twist on the steell....

Yep, that's what I thought already. Unfortunately there's no commando to keep the beam parallel to the level, or maybe there is but I haven't found it yet...

The beam would indeed be twisted. To create the beam in real life it would have to be twisted. You can create the twist in the beam to correct this by using the swept blend tool using the same profile rotated to the relevant angle at each end.
