Beam Intersections Not Cleaning up

I am using the Beam Tool to make footings and the intersections will not clean up. They are all at the same elevation and the setting is on to clean them.  They all are flat and level. I don't usually see this problem. All of the endpoints are connected. Any Ideas on how to make them join?

I am assuming they are all in the same layer.

Is the Intersection Priority Number for that layer set to 0 (zero)?

They won't trim if it is.

 They all are flat and level.

As in they have no depth? Unless they have changed something, things do not connect when they have a thickness of ZERO... Can you make then 0.01 instead?

The layer they are on have the intersection priority set to "1" not "0"

No. They are all set to 12" thickness, not zero.
