RC Designer

Hi,

1. In the 3D model columns are tied by beams on both X and Z directions, but at different level. So, I have to define the different length and different length factor for both Y and Z directions of the column. Say, Height & effective length factor in Y direction is– 5m and 1.2 respectively. Height & effective length factor in Z direction is  – 4m and 1.3 respectively. Is there any option in STAAD or RC designer to define this?

2. Can we assign the Start and End of the beams in Concrete design mode? This is required to check the Span/Depth ratio of the physical beam which has been formed by many beam elements.
