Hi all,
I have some problem with custom shape column-concrete beam connections e.a the file I've posted.

When I add beam in standart column, it's working but in T shape column which I made,
the beams dont join to T columns properly.What I am missing?

Any help on this would be appreciated,

Is it your intention that the beam and column join to give a form that looks as though it has been extruded from beam into column? The geometry in beams is designed so that the structural stick elements join but that may not mean the body of the beam joins the column. Sometimes you need to detach the model geometry from the stick to make sure it doesn't cut back from the colunm attachment. Revit tends to make it cut back from the end of the stick to enable a connection detail, which is true life for steel details but not concrete or timber.
