Cutback Instances

When working with cutbacks in Revit Architecture, there are several instances that have specific requirements
and properties.
Beam to Beam
Setback and cutback apply when connecting beams. Beams connect at their endpoints and multiple beams
can connect to one endpoint.
An end join connection is achieved when two or more endpoints snap together or when the endpoint of
beam is an origin point when you draw another beam. Structural beams drawn with the chain tool also
connect by their endpoints. See Sketching Beams with the Chain Option on page 775.
When two beams are end joined at an angle, the shortest beam will not cutback, forcing the longer beams
to cutback. The setback of the shortest beam also adjusts to meet the perceived endpoint of the longer beam.
If further beams connect to the join they will cutback from the shortest beam. If the new beam is shorter,
the join reconfigures so that the longer beams frame into the shortest beam. You can edit this visual
representation of cutback with the Beam Join Editor.
