How does one model a beam that has the bottom half of the beam coped out of the middle third of the span? I have tried using three segments (end spans as a W-Shape, middle span as a WT-shape) with the ends fixed, but get Error code 2049 (Framing problem, beam is unsupported).

You cannot create this type of beam in RISAFloor. I cannot think of a good work around other than to model the beam in RISA-3D instead.
