Beam connection Why is this? It's normal in 2D, but different in 3D. What should I do in this case?

It's not like I have to use SOE, right?

I am not sure why the 2D & 3D don't match.

Nothing to do with building material strength and beams don't have junction order like walls do.

 

Only solution I can see it to reduce the length of the angled beam's reference line, so it does not touch the other reference line.

I guess you could put it on a layer that has a different number assignet to it; usually a layer has 1 next to it, if you create a layer that has the number 2 next to it, and put one beam on that layer, they will not interact.

You can also offset one of the refenceaxis.

But not if you need the axis in the centre on plan.
