As DGSketcher said, check your layer intersection number in the layer settings.
I think you will find it is set to 0 (zero) which means nothing in that layer will intersect/trim.
I just tried and got the same result you show.

@Daniel_He If you are using the Beam tool to create the pipe connection, try changing the Beam tool "Geometry method" to "Chained" so this way your beam will stay connected as you go along. Hope this helps.

Hi, thank you for helping, however I did it with "Chained", it showed as the picture

Are they on the same layer? Are they on the same home story? Are you sure you have automatic connections activated for your view? I've never had my beans not connected by default.

Assuming the base lines intersect then check your Layer Intersection Group Number .

I did it in basement level as designed for this element, drawed continouously in "Chained" in same layer, so these two elements should have the exact same attribute and should be automatic connection activated.

What is the Layer Intersection Group Number for your "Pipes"?

Is there something on a hidden layer that is interfering?

Here are two pictures about this profile, I don't see any hidden layer as I tried in a all new file
