Hello,  
To address the first issue, you will need to place structural connections (I just started looking at this feature):  
[http://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2017/ENU/?guid=GUID-14D5F295-680A-440B-848C-847363BA0D06](http://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2017/ENU/?guid=GUID-14D5F295-680A-440B-848C-847363BA0D06)  
There is also a Revit add-in for this:

For the second question, _Curve.StartPoint_ gives me the points I expect. Some more details on your workflow could be useful here. See also on this topic:

> Hello, I’m trying to get the Start Point of a Structural Column to allow the placement of a Structural Connection. The problem I’m having is in relation to the getting the correct Start Point regardless of Vertical or Slanted. If I use the Element.Geometry–\>Solid.Centroid it places the point in the middle of the geometry which is wrong. If I use the StructuralFraming.Location this only works for my slanted columns. If I use Face.Vertices–\>Vertex.PointGeometry I don’t get accurate X,Y,Z coor…
