Unfortunately this is one area where Revit falls apart right now. The way
that the structural families are made makes for some very frustrating
automatic offsets in the ends of beams and does not allow for accurate cut
lengths. I have put the request in to the structural team several times and
expect this to be resolved in 7.0, but if it is not, I think that, no matter
what other functionality they add for the structural guys, Revit will not be
adequate for structural drawings.
Make a request to the support team!

> With structural members does anyone know a good way to attach horizontal
structrual members to the face of the vertical member rather than the
center. I realize I can edit the family and change the intersection of the
L/R center and top/bottom center but this would only work with one point.
What if I want multiple horizontal members to attach to different faces and
produce accurate cut lengths for the vertical members.
