Issue with architectural column and structural beam

Hello all, i am new with Revit. Learning everyday.  We do not have the support of structural engineers expert in Revit yet in our country. But i still want to use Revit for architectural part as an Architect. 

I am having problem understanding how i can create drawings using architectural columns and structural beams together which will show the beam, slab and columns interconnected on sections and overall project presentation with schedule and estimation. 

How can  i use beam with architectural column within the project! Or should i make concrete walls or mass as beam! 
I'll be using concrete column and concrete beams for most of the project.
The column size is given by the structural engineer, i am making custom architectural column. I will be preparing architectural working drawings with schedules including the column, beam, slab volume estimation on the schedule. 

What is the best process here! 

Regards,
Hasib
