Is there a way to cleanup floor (Arch Model) / beam (Linked Structural Model) intersections?

What about footing (Linked Structural Model) / slab (Arch Model) intersections?

Two examples attached.

Since the structural model is linked I cant seem to join them or use a cut profile. 

When necessary, I have to put a fake concrete patch over the line.  Pretty crappy.

If you can copy/monitor the floor elements, then you can do what you want.

Correct.  But the beams will not copy/monitor.  Nor will the Footings. 

The problem is more with the footing than the slab - I think.

So either I cut profile the slab at each edge of the footing around them and have lines where they touch - or I mask using an opaque hatch at the joined location.

In the case of my image where the footing and flood slab overlap, they would be poured at the same time.  Structural has footings and slab, and allow them to overlap and joined them in their file.  They do the same with their beams.  Beams and Slabs are integral.

Is this just poor modeling by our structural engineer then?  Or am I missing something really obvious.
