Can't get beam to show exact in section

[advandes]

I am using Advance Steel 2021

I can't get the beams to show up exact in my section views (See attached). I have exhausted my attempts to get this to work and have had to resort to getting help. Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks! I would be glad to provide more information if needed.

The problem here is: the line for beam is not used maybe. I would suggest, that the beam you would like to see is maybe the main part. Therefore you need to change the line for 'MP beam'.

Thanks Sabastian. Maybe I should have explained more. The beam in question is an existing beam. The model role naming for this beam is "Existing" and I have toggled off all the Behavior settings. I hope this makes sense and may explain the problem.

Then you had to show us the first 16 lines 9f the detail style. Maybe the beam is using another line. You had to know: the detail style works like a pyramid.

Advance start in line 1 and have a look if this model object is the one it need. If not, AS go to line 2 and so on. So it doesn't matter if you change the line 16 of you detail style, if the object is found in line 4 because if the software have a target and found it, it will never search for more. 

Example: you beam have the role 'existing' and maybe in your detail style is in line 2 a model object which is based on this role, AS will use this definition and will stop here. It will never have a look in line 16 where the beam is defined, because it already found, what it's looking for.

Got it! It was on Line 5 that need to be changed. Thanks Sabastian, I really appreciate you quick response and help.
