Notching a post in which to set beams for a deck

[LancasterLinda]

I am working with a contractor who notches the support posts and places two (2)  2x12's in the notch as the beam.  Has anyone figured out how to notch a auto-generated beam or a work-around?  If I don't show the notch/beam placement, it will affect the height of the deck in plan view.

Thanks for any help on this,

Are you flush framing the joists to the beam, or setting the joists over the beam? Either way, you can move the deck framing supports how you want to . You put the edge of the post even with the outside of the beam. You can run the post to the top of the joist height. If you are flush framing, move the beam to the outside edge of the joist framing, then open the setting and move it up the depth of the joist

Thank you, Keith for your response and input.  I will play around with your suggestions and see if I can make them work.
