Align static lines of beams to columns so that the eccentricity is transferred to a static programme

Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to automatically assign the static lines to my automated precast grid in Dynamo. As they are prefabricated beams, they are supposed to be connected to the column with an eccentricity. Unfortunately, Revit's automation always connects them to me in such a way that they are connected somewhere in space and the structural program thinks the beam is longer.
Do you have any idea how I can set a rule in Dynamo that the ends of the beams should be connected to the nearest column?
Thank you very much 🙂

I am aware of an update in Revit 2023.1 which addresses incorrect alignment in the Analytical model creation process

There is a Tolerance input in the Dynamo Dialogue (2.2) so try reducing the value.

Double checking the physical elements do they have any end extension values?

Thank you for your help. Please excuse the late reply. After some rebuilding of the previous code, it worked by expanding the value a bit instead of reducing it.
