Hello
So, here is my problem. I'm drawing lines to transform into mass. Is there a way to do a "Start-End Radius Arc" with first point in one plane and another point in another plane in order to do a sort o "curved ramp" ?!
Thanks, Mephisto91

You can probably do what you want easier with an in-place family, using the modeling tools. ie, sweeps, extrusions, swept blends, etc.
Swept blends are what you are looking for it sounds like. You can start with one profile in one plane, and have it transform to another profile seemlessly along a curved path. Or, not transform profiles, but only transform in terms of the height of the profile...
Massing has very limited applications in drafting from what I've seen. I don't see it much used for conceptual modeling, either, as most people in authority positions to design have a high likelihood of being too old fashioned, and will prefer trace paper. Fun to play with, however.
