I looked on the forums and could not find a solution. I am designing a roof in Revit Arch 2012. I have a beam (B1) at elev 146'-0". I have another beam (B2) that's parallel to B1 30'-0" away. Beam B2 starts on one side at elev 145'-9" and at the other end it is at 145'-4". I am trying to insert an open web 'K' joist between the 2 beams. So I go to my beam truss system to do my boundary and select the 2 beams but I cannot get the joist to attach to the sloped beam (B2). I have no problem having them attach to the top of B1 but I have to manually grab each truss over B2 and pull it down. Any suggestions?

This should be your solution.

I found a couple of posts elsewhere that talk about creating this warp by adjusting the supports.  Check this post on AUGI:
