When coping beams, especially steel beams, there are many complaints that the cope doesn’t include an automatic radius. However, if a custom beam is created such that the flanges have a slight radius to them, this shape will be used for the cope, and therefore coping will include a radius.

Great tip! Does detail level matter in this case? Our beam profiles are rounded in fine and at right angles in medium. When I cope, which level of detail takes precedence?
Detail level does matter depending on how the family is set up. The OOTB Wide Flange only has radii on the fine level of detail profile, but if you want the cope to work then add the radius on both medium and fine level profiles.
