If I have W10 beam that connects onto another W10 that is about 7" higher, how would you do the connection?

RE: Steel to steel connection help
If the supporting member is higher, I would cope the top flange of the lower beam and provide a double angle welded to the bottom of the bottom flange of the upper beam for the lower beam to frame into. I probably wouldn't try this detail with heavy loads, but with a W10, it probably isn't a heavy load and you should be able to get it to work pretty easily.

But...
There are a couple of ugly options. Let's draw a section (well, using our imaginations, LOL) through the supportING member, with the supportED member coming in from the left.
Cope the top flange of the supportED member to allow the member to extend to the right, all the way to the right side of the supportING member. Weld a horizontal plate to the coped web of the supportED. Connect this horizontal plate to the bottom flange of the supportING member like a T-hanger. Add stiffeners in the supportED member under this plate, for torsional restraint and stability.

You're asking about a typical beam to beam shear connection, right? I assume that the supported beam is perpendicular to the supporting beam, right?

My only other idea is to cope off the supported member bottom flange and extend the web downward by adding a plate in the plane of the web, CJP to the web. Then, bolt that plate to something hanging down from the supporting member bottom flange, an angle for example.

single shear tab, between the flanges of the supporting member as a stiffener, extending down sufficiently to attach the supported W10. If the connection is welded or slip-critical bolted, the torsion due to the eccentricy will be minimized, right?
