I'm not sure how to get these to meet. The align tool doesn't allow me to select both of these. The channels that are not in section are part of a beam system, if that makes any difference. My border for the beam system is against the back end of the channel in section. I can't seem to get one to run into the other.

Also, I had to move the two channels that are not in section down 2" so they wouldn't be aligned along the top with the cut-channel. I need to do this to ALL of those floor framing beams in my project now but when I select them all the Z-Direction offset value gets grayed out. Any way around that?

You can't use the align tool because the beams are constrained to a "plan" work plane....if you use the move command, you have to unconstrain them before you can move them in a vertical direction.
I generally setup reference levels for the different elevations. It will take good naming conventions and smart setup, but I think it is better than adjust z-Direction Offset values on a global scale. As you draw, just specify of the Reference level (or ref. plane) and let Revit manage the elevations for you.

Thanks, Brett. I'll need to keep that in mind for the next project.
I worked around my first issue by unpinning the members in the section and dragging them to where I want them. Unfortunately that seems to be the only way I could get it to work for now.

Looking at this...I think misunderstood your OP.
If you are talking about the beams in elevation and not section, they will not graphically "connect" because there is a cutback distance controlling the spacing in the structural properties dialog.
You can change that but it is a global change and affects all beams.
