Revit 2024 auto-joined a W12x26 to a partition and my check print showed a load path straight to gypsum — funny until you imagine the field RFI and the safety note audit. I now drop a big red NO BEARING annotation family in suspect spots; what do you use to keep integrity and code compliance intact when the software gets “helpful”?
In Revit 2024, I hit Disallow Join; a filter paints framing on non-bearing walls — beats ‘NO BEARING’; tried Interference Check?
I use Autodesk Model Checker to flag any Structural Framing whose end is within an inch of walls with Structural = No; it spits out a list so I’m not hunting for ‘NO BEARING’ tags. It already caught a W12x26 in 2024 trying to bear on gypsum — . @c_thomas34 would you bake that rule into your template, or keep it as a task check? https://www.biminteroperabilitytools.com/modelchecker.
I keep a dedicated 3D “Support Check” view with Reveal Constraints on in Revit 2024; it immediately flags when a beam end (like that W12x26) has aligned/locked to a non-structural partition. I break the lock and pin the member so it won’t snap back — your “NO BEARING” tag is great, but catching the purple constraints early has saved a few check prints. Do you ever run Reveal Constraints before plotting?
