Hi everyone, I’d like to know if I can create, if possible with foundation but not necessarily, these two effects :

 ![example](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/2/25b71d737f7063be700ce1082e74b654ebb84cbb.jpeg)

See here : [https://www.u-bordeaux.fr](https://www.u-bordeaux.fr) to see how it moves.

1 : the window is slanted, and I didn’t found how to do that with foundations. Is ti simply possible ?

2 : there is a little column that is getting a little bit over the slanted window, and I don’t see either how to create that.

Thanks ! 😬

The [Bevel](https://www.bigwhiteduck.com/stacks/bevel/) stack from BWD should do the slant, and the [Blueprint](https://www.bigwhiteduck.com/stacks/blueprint/) stack from BWD should help with the overlay.

Both work perfectly with Foundation, and they’re free, but a donation is appreciated if you find them of use.

Yes it looks great, I didn’t know “Bevel”, it seems to be very complete, I’m gonna have a complete look (just started to see a few videos). So : THANK’S 😉

Dont, forget Sections Angle as well, this will allow you to make the triangle connectors further down if you need them.  
[http://sectionspro.bigwhiteduck.com/learn-sections/angles-connectors/](http://sectionspro.bigwhiteduck.com/learn-sections/angles-connectors/)

as @NeilUK says, BluePrint ONE will do the overlaps

Hello, it’s me again, something I can’t manage to do… again 🙄

So I can create slanted image boxes, but I didn’t find how to create a shadow effect, with a shadow around my “slanted column”, something that would be like this :

 ![shadow](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/6/642e5cf831c6b1787cfcf3dbc4a24f3820b36242.jpeg)

For the moment, I just managed to have something like this, where the shadow stays behind the column, not behind the slanted area 🙂

 ![shadow2](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/f/f73f229a11dab2a855b255b4fe6f18c0d950744b.jpeg)

So ; you guys have another solution for me ? 😉

Did you try Sections Angle as per my suggestion? This is it doing what you want:

He he he !!! NO I DID NOT : I stayed focused on bevel and I forgot to go back to Section Pro (although I did visit your link). Bad me… So : I can see your image and I’ll do that tomorrow (because it’s the end of my working day now) ; thank you again, I’ll come back to you with the same effect 😉

Hum ! I came just to shut down my computer and look what I found !!!  
Thank you ; this is really a reason why I enjoy RW (since the third version) ; users are so cool, they are real “crèmes” as we say in french : thanks !

Hi Andrew, NeilUK, just to tell you that… I changed my mind on my project and there’s no more slanted column !!!

But now I know how to do that ; there will be other occasions to use this.

Thanks again 😉
