You just need to play with it. Start with the verticals.

@barthbradley How do you do?

Thank's

To be honest, it is a tool that not always works as expected. It is just a matter of trying, eventually you will come up with a combination of connecting the beams which works for Revit.

Were you aware that I actually attached a file ("Project 2.rte") with the solution last Monday?  See Post #2.

@barthbradley yes, I saw.
But ask how can you do to achieve of it.
But as @Avaris. sayed it doesn't works well sometimes, so there's a motivation of why I can't revolve the problem.

Thank's

"it doesn't works well sometimes"? That's your pick for a solution??? How about marking a solution that actually helps.

To answer your question: I did it using the Change Beam Status widget.  It took only seconds to miter the joins.  It took longer to respond back to you with the corrected file.

Thank you, @Anonymous.

@barthbradley I don't find the right way. 

If click on the bean and than the command doens't achieve of the result. 

Can't do a screencast, please?

Thank'

I cannot do a screencast for you today Matteo, but to activate the Change Beam Status arrows, you need to right-click on the blue dot and select Edit Beam/Column Join.   But first, the blue dots at the ends of the column and beam need to be in close proximity to each other in order for the Change Beam Status to work.    

p.s. I would zero out your Start and End Extensions.  And Cutback.
