How to model a beam with a custom profile section

Here's another interesting technical support case that I wanted to share with our users.

QUESTION:
I need to create a beam with slightly curved bottom section and the two ends with a round profiles. How can I achieve this kind of shape?

ANSWER:
To build up a custom beam with these characteristics, you can use the "Custom Beam" object.
This object type, with its flexible editing tools also allows you to insert holes, etc. and you can easily edit the geometry of a beam profile section.
