    Unhappy Need help with concrete beam and roof slab joins

    I have two different problems,
    I have a roof slab and concrete beams that join, but a line still remains between them.
    And another condition where the beam won't (can't) join to the roof slab yet other's join that are just like it.

    (see attached images)

    BTW, the roof slab(s) are two seperate slabs on a slope and are "joined".
    These are all OOTB concrete structure elements.

    Anyone have any advice on these problems?

    Thanks

    On the second image I'm thinking that they may not be joining because the top of your beam looks like it might be slightly above the top of the roof slab.
    Only advice I can give you is to select the beam that isn't joining to the slab, and pick the unjoin tool. This will unjoin everything that beam was joined to. Then try to use the join tool to put them back together.
    Option 2 is to delete the beam and place a new one.
    Option 3 is to use the linework tool to remove it.
    Beam joins for concrete have much to be desired. I have yet to complete a project where I didn't have issues like this all over the place.

    You could also try joining the central beam to an object that it doesn't actually have a join with. This forces Revit to look at all of the joins on the source object and sometimes removes the linework errors. Only sometimes though!
    If not, delete and place a new beam or manually adjust the linework as Dave's post above.

    I can't remember, it was 5 years ago.

    I believe it had something to do with the roof slab where it pitched at the top and trying to join the beam too.
    Like it was seeing the roof as (2) pieces and the beam didn't want to join them, but I think I re-did the roof or something and it fixed it.

    But I'm not sure.
