Not having a simple, automatic way, to show load bearing under, is one of the biggest missing items in Revit for the structural drafter. Having worked with numerous Structural Engineering teams, with Revit the past 10 years, it is complained about frequently and VERY loudly. All the work around solutions we currently use have there cons and are not great solutions.
Why it is important: It must be clear on a structural framing plan now a slab is supported. ie are the spans too great? is there a column transferring load thru a slab. Do we have adequate slab thickness for this transfer slab. The BEST way to show this clearly on a plan is to show a load bearing hatch under, see examples below.
