Have you tried the Trim command? A lot of times it works.

Modify>>Trim / Extend to corner

I think trim and extend will not work because they are in different angles if perpendicular then it will work. Thanks

Actually, Trim / Extend works with all angles, even between a line and an arc.

Trim/Extend cannot miter beams. Technically, the beam join tool should work but sometimes it only does one end and refuses to do the other, which is exactly the problem here. So, @ennujozlagam method is the best thing to offer IMHO.

@ennujozlagam @ToanDN

Thank's! very interesting.

How can it possibile to select plan view directly if there if the beam superimposed?

I can't select the plan directly. Have to hide the beam before, after select the plan view and after stretcht the line of plan view, and finally bring back the beam.

How can you do to select the plan directly without this procedure?

Thank's very much.

My bad. Trim/Extend gives squared off ends at the junction. Cutting the beams at a diagonal reference plane is what does the trick.

I can't to achieve of @ennujozlagam what you do.

If want to cut the second beam the second beam is cut on the opposite side I want to cut.

If click for the secondt time the command cut on the other side of refer plan (n 6 in attachment) nothing change.

I can cut the second beam put an other reference plan adjacent the north side of the second beam but have overlap of these two in their intersection (attanchment 3, number 4).

At second:

the reference plan I set at what height is positioned? Because before I did not notice that don't click on reference plan to isolate that as the video.

Put offset 0.5 m in visibility view in base and depth level since that the base of beam is position with -035 m offset from level 2 (attahcment) and thinked that is at -0.35 m, at heigt of the base, but there weren't.

Thank's.

1) Go into the view where you see the beams

2) Architecture>>Reference Plane

Create a diagonal Reference plane at the location of the intersection

3) Modify>>Cut

4) Select the beam to be cut

5) Select the Reference plane to cut it with

Repeat for the other beam.

I don't view reference plan because isolated all except the beams.

Probably the height on reference plan is at the height on level 2.

@Anonymous hello, you can cut the another beam by doing the same procedure as you cut the first one. Okay go again to modify tab > cut > cut geometry > select your beam then your reference plane. hope it helps. thanks
