Someone will chime in with a reason....my question is why is it defaulted to ON.

I'll take a guess - When you draw a beam that is in an attic or upper floor system on a 1.5 story house, the last thing you need is the beam to cut through and project out of the roof surface. So, a very convenient way to cut the end of the beam. That said, I don't believe I've ever used it. So, I turn it off all the time.

Ah I get it, I normally only use beams on porches, thanks
Default to no would be nice.
porch beams here 99% of the time also. maybe change the default settings
