Beam to Beam Connection With Different Heights

When using a Beam/Column connection or Beam/Beam connection Revit shows a gap between the two members in plan and then you can adjust how it looks in section with "Change Reference" and "Coping". 

 

However when doing a Beam/Beam connection one of the Beams is typically at a lower elevation because it has joists on it and when you try to do a Beam/Beam connection with beams at two different heights Revit no longer puts the gap where they are joining. Doing a manual adjustment to make them look right in plan is fine unless you are showing an elevation and then you have a gap between your Beams instead of showing them connecting.

 

Does anyone have a solution or a work around to fix both Plan and Elevation?

Have you tried using your "z offset value" instead of your "start and end level offset"  in your beam properties. I find if I use the start and end offset there is no gap, but if I use my z offset there is a gap. Z offset will also work better with your anaylical model.
