[@calvoh9715]

what about using the rigid links?

Hi , when it is permitted to active " Do not transform frame stiffiness for offsets" ??

[@ilustraca]

If u do not want to transform the stiffness then there is no point of modelling the eccentricities

[@anastaha2438]

@@ilustraca because in reality for example main rafters come over or below secondary purlins in roof steel structure . so in modelling rafter above or below there is a need to transform the stiffness ?

[@ilustraca]

@@anastaha2438 are gonna connect purlins with rafter with a moment connection??? if not that how will that transform the stiffness. You need to know how and when and why

I am facing problems with column cardinal points while drawing columns. When I select Top Left while drawing, it goes to Bottom right. Sometimes Bottom Right, it goes Top Right. And it alwas vary column to column. Never same for every column. I request you to make a video on column cardinal points without using insertion point.
