Miter Joins - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

Square-off Joins
In square-off joins, the ends of beams and braces maintain a plane perpendicular to the centerline of the
element. The beam into which others frame does not cutback while its connecting beams cutback as warranted.
This beam will cutback from a neighboring beam. When cutback, a beam will adjust in a way that prevents
it from being closer to any other beam participating in the join by a distance equalling the cutback.
The following examples detail both coarse and medium/fine levels of detail in a project.

Miter Joins

Unlike square-off joins, miter joins do not cutback, allowing geometry to create a flush connection between
two beams.
