Seems we have finally got beam mitre tool in RA2009 but did they give us beam coping tool as Revit structure? I would even pay extra for a plugin of this very useful tool ! Maybe Autodesk could make" even more money from us" by selling plugins,like a new car,buy basic model and give us all the optional extras at a price.

You can use opening by face to cut openings through a beam. It will work to cope the steel as well.

Yes opening by face is a workaround and a good tool in itself for different circumstances,but the coping tool is quick and details look great. To run a floor joist into a steel beam then cope at set offset is quick and looks correct. I don't think is a big request from Autodesk

No, but it looks like a "We need one Revit, RAC,RS,MEP together in one app" request.
My wish too, but who cares....
