Beam intersection at roof peak

So this issue keeps happening whenever the rafter sits on the ridge beam and touch the rafter on the other side.  As you can see in the image, how do I prevent this from happening?  This is an issue cause this is showing in all exterior views; elevations, 3d, etc. cause its protruding through the finish roof.  This only happens when it's sitting on the ridge beam, but it's fine if there's no ridge beam as you can see in the image.

@sknsnw9 You could place the beams on their own layer and assign them a different Layer Intersection Group value. The notching could then be completed with an SEO if required. I know it may not be ideal adding a new layer, but sometimes it is the best way to resolve intersection problems.

I do not understand clearly the picture but beams have priority values.

Also you can create different wood material with different material priority.

The selected part is showing duplicate, offset ridge beam lengths?

This solved the issue, thanks! Didn't think about doing that.
