Structural Beams Symbolic Cutback Distance in Revit 2016

Hi All,

Why does a structural beam loses the Symbolic Cutback Distance when is lowered ?

Is there a way to fix that? or a workaround?

Thanks

What you were using when lowering it? If command move than you were disjoining it from anything, but if using under ribbon modify structural framing , justification tab command z offset then it must save the cut back distance until its in range of main beam.

if helped mark it as a solution.

@GatisM Thank you for your reply.

I'm using a level or a reference plane to lower the beam (roof beams). Your solution worked but I wondering how do you manage the changes for a big project. I mean, your project is going to change and you'll change the z-Offset Value for all the beams!?

Thank you for your posting. I have accepted this solution behalf of you. If you have any different opinion, please feel free to change it.

What @GatisM suggested is correct, and should be careful when moving joined elements as auto join will be changed based on the properties of the element and adjacent elements. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
