I would suggest one of the following;

 

1. Try to use the "Beam/Column" Join tool.

 

2. Adjust your beams extensions in the Properties window and use the "Apply Coping" tool. Then adjust the "Coping Distance"

 

3. Draw "Reference Planes" and use the "Cut Geometry" tool.

I'm sorry forgot to mention this is for walls only.

 

Beam and column joins do not work.

 

thanks

Are you asking how to get the miter or how to show the gap?

 

To get the miter, you should be able to use the Modify > Geometry > Wall Joins tool and choose Miter.

 

To show the gap, two things you could try would be to either right click on a wall's end grip, choose Disallow Join, and drag the wall back, or you could create Parts from the wall and drag the parts back.

I want to show just like in my attachment on original post... miter with a gap... so far doesnt look like can be done... i've tried all suggestions nothing works. 

 

yes i can make miter using joins etc... however that does not show gap... 

 

I can drag back and disallow join however only shows butt joint... no option for miters... 

 

I've tried the create parts option as well that doesnt work either.

 

It needs to look excactly like in my attachment on first initial post... otherwise Revit is useless to me. 

 

Thanks for suggestions.

To accomplish what is shown in your first image, where the walls are mitered but not joined, you have two options:

 

1)  Use regular walls, and disjoin them at the ends.  Then use void elements to trim the wall end at an angle.

2) If your walls are ingle-layer, (one material) it is pretty easy to create an in-place model of the wall.  This can also be done with multiple-layer walls, with a little more effort.  Note that if you attempt to schedule both regular and in-place walls, it can be tricky depending on what information you need in the schedule.

 

So, in short, it is possible, but you will have to experiment a little to figure out what works for you.
