Notching only visible in first and last beam while making array

Hello, I have created this truss family and when copying it with the Array tool, a message shows up saying that "Notching has been applied but is only visible in Medium Detail". Nevertheless, I am in Medium Detail and only the first and last beam show up "complete". How can I fix this? Why does it happen?

Thank youScreenshot 2023-11-02 093406.png

Post the File. 

 

...edit group and disable auto joins at beam ends and see if that resolve issue. 

 

....another thing you could try is opening the beam family and making the beam geometry visible in ALL detail levels (Coarse, Medium and Fine) via the geometry's Visibility Settings.

I don't see the disable auto joins option when editing the group

Changed the family settings and nothing happened

I am still trying to figure out why it applied the notch i can only think this is a symbolic representation in course Detail and then applied in medium detail the notch 

 

To Fix, Edit Beam > Click on Bottom Chord Arrow

Disallow Join works fine and dandy. Just press "OK" when you get that message.

BTW, follow my other suggestion if you want. Edit Family and make either the Medium or Fine beam geometry visible in Coarse Medium and Fine Detail Levels via Visibility Settings. Delete the second beam geometry.  Reload into Project.
