I want to create beam using pick line (3D snapping), but it doesn't allow me to do that for that particular wall, others can.

You can fix that by flipping the walls polarity but it would be too much work when you have many of them (See GIF 1)

Easiest fix is to change the material behavior in the family to disallow the cutback and join...See below GIF

  1. I edited the family
  2. Change material behavior to concrete
