How to model stepped column in RAM SS?

I am trying to model a single larger precast column that basically gets split in order to support a steel truss on one side and a precast column with a moment frame on the other. How would you recommend we model this condition?

My best idea would be to put a wall in as the combined column with 2 individual columns extending up from either end of the wall. But if anyone has any better ideas I'd love to hear them.
