In the Structure mode we choose the embedded beam and set properties in the Selection explorer:

Hi Rushan

Another question my my side.

How do you create a hinged connection between embedded beams and plate elements (Top point of embedded beams has the same elevation as the plate)?

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Chris

How to do it geometrically?

If Yes, I think one of the simpliest way is to use cone command.

The description of this command you can find in Help menu → Command reference → Input commands reference → cone.
Please, see Alternatives 4, 5 and 6 (a truncated cone).
For example:

10 — bottom radius
7 — height
5 — top radius
from (0 0 0) point in direction (0 0 1)

The result:
