I have sloped joist butting into a girder and some show up w/ a nice gap between the joist and girder and some butt into the girder (which I don't want). attached is a image to help explain my plight.

Thanks

Can you post the file?
My initial thought is when you created the joists, the end snap points may not be at the girder location. They may have snapped to the joist end (the joist seats have a default extension) which may be causing the inconsistent representation.

It would be easier if you could post the file, or portion of.

Thanks.

The file is very large and I'm not real sure how to break it up into smaller pieces quite yet. Anyway I created the joist's by coping them then stretching the longer items as needed, so I would assume they all have the same snap point. My joist seats extensions have all been set to 0". If this doesn't help I'll look into breaking that level out of the project for you to look at.

Thanks for the help.

I can only say that I've run into the same issue. I've either used linework to cover it up or redrawn the joists from scratch in that area. I'll be curious to see if there is a deeper explanation.
