If you are using structural beams?? Make sure in your family-->family category and parameters the structural material is set to wood...
Then they should join together properly...

The bowed ceilng would have to be an -in-place family and an extrusion in elevation to the profile of the bow.

Yes i understand this, but having the structural material set to steel means the elements will not butt join as they leave a gap to allow for a bracket or welding.
Changing this structural material to wood will have no architectural effects so unless you are using the data for any structural figures then it won't make any difference to the model.
You can still have the architectural material set to steel.

In the Structural beam family.
Go to Settings-->Family Category & Parameters-->in the bottom window there are a couple of options.
Change the structural material here.

I think I am having the same problem to join r.c. beams too apart of steel beams.
Anyway, Thanks for the workaround, Mr. Spot
