Coping steel

[chriskD6WP2]

How would I cope the HSS so it's flat on top and not notched around the channel? And, I can't break the analytical model in the process.

In such case, don't use coping but a face based void family to cut the top of the column.  See attached Revit 2017 file and a screencast in a few minutes.
