About Beam to Wall Cutback

Join a beam to a wall by sketching a beam and snapping one of its endpoints to the center of the wall.

Setback and cutback apply when connecting beams to structural walls. The beams are independent of one another, are only associated with the common wall, and will cut back from the wall accordingly. Recessing the beam into a beam pocket is possible by removing the cutback with shape handles or the Beam/Join tool.
