Structural framing underneath a warped slab

Some users have asked me what is the best and quick way to place a beam or beam system to a warped slab (Figure 1)?

(Figure 1)

Currently, a slab cannot host a beam or beam system. However, if users have already added the columns, they can then attach the columns to the underside of the slab (Figure 2).

(Figure 2)

Then in the Plan or {3D} view, users can use the regular Beam tool with "3D Snapping" option checked in order to layout quickly the perimeter girder beams (Figure 3).

(Figure 3)

Finally in the Plan view, user can add the Beam System with "3D" option checked in order to populate the joists to achieve the desired goal (Figure 4).

Are there any work arounds for placing reinforcement in a warped slab?

I actually have the same problem for both path and area reinforcement. The reinforcement is horizontal and doesn't "bend/curve" with the slab.
Thanks
