Hello. For learning purposes, I am trying to model a roller coaster in CATIA in small steps. My current problem is what is the best way to create banked track? I have two tubular steel rails on a straightaway and I want the track to twist from 0 degrees roll, to 45 degrees roll, then back to 0 degrees. What is the best method of constructing this track?

Thanks for any and all advice.
