What is the usual and recommended workflow in modelling architectural? Is column modelled/placed too in architectural? because structural and architectural models are done at the same time and linked by each other..

We copy monitor the structural columns in our architectural model.

In our situation architectural is usually the first to layout then structural will link the AR model,
My other question is if you copy monitor columns from structural do you leave the gap of walls between columns?
Thanks WWhub!

We lay it out first too, including columns. The structural then typical copies (not CM) our columns and changes them per their design. When we then link in their model, we delete our original columns and CM the structural. This allows the structural to be owners of their items. (They would be owners anyway if they just CM'd ours but our E's prefer it this way.)
I don't know exactly what you mean by gap in walls at columns. We will run our walls through and handle any required clearances (if any) in details.

Do you run your walls through columns or leave a gap in the walls for columns?

It depends upon the project. Structural columns will show no matter how the wall is made.

I don't believe I said that at all. I don't know what you mean by volumn. I use either architectural or structural columns - depending on what they should be.

That's right. There are no steel architectural columns so if you have a settl column, you use a structural column. I you are an architect doing a concrete column, you might use either.
You need to experiment with both architectural and structural, rectanglar columns and place them intersecting a brick wall - watch what happens.

Well, that's really depending on your workflow. Are you going to work with a central file or linked files?Central File > Structural members are dealt with by the Structural engineers. They exist in their own worksets, but the elements can be altered by the architectural guys by borrowing them (although I wouldn't recommend that). In my experience most of the time the walls are cut into two separate pieces: the structural and non-structural wall. the windows and doors are hosted on the non-structural walls. The structural engineer can place and adjust openings to match the windows.Floor and roof decks: same here. They're done by the structural engineers. Finish layers, insulation and other stuff by the building engineers.Although it also happens a lot that the architect / building engineers start by placing "dummy" structural members which get switched out by the structural engineers later. All depends on when they come into play.Linked files: Almost the same as above although you could look into the copy/monitor functions
