Transfer Columns Self Weight

We consider the column self-weight in the column design. In the transfer beam design we also consider it, but only if the column has a user assigned size.  

Thank you Seth! In the transfer beam design , what if the column is what the program gives us , will it consider then? Will it consider if we freeze the column size?

You will have to freeze the design (that's the same as user assigned). 

Thank you!

I’m pretty sure I checked myself before that last forum reply, but I checked again today using v17.00.00.93 and the column self-weight above is not applied to the gravity – steel transfer beam below, even if the column size is user assigned. A point load is needed in lieu of using Column self-weight in that case. Column self-weight is considered in the loads applied to a lateral beam in Ram Frame, and it is considered in the Ram Concrete analysis, however.
