Openings in a Structural Beam, Brace, or Structural Column

You can cut openings through different structural elements such as beams, braces, or structural columns,
using the Opening by Face tool. For more information, see
applies to all structural elements:
A beam opening is applied to a face that is vertical or horizontal through the major or minor axis (typically
vertical or horizontal) of the beam.
A beam opening cuts through the entire element (for example, it cannot cut only one flange of a
wide-flange beam).

Description
Rotational release at the top end of the column along the y-axis.
Rotational release at the top end of the column along the z-axis.
Either fixed, Pinned, Bending Moment or User-Defined. User-Defined allows you
to enable/disable each of the bottom release conditions.
Translational release at the bottom end of the column along the x-axis.
Translational release at the bottom end of the column along the y-axis.
Translational release at the bottom end of the column along the z-axis.
Rotational release at the bottom end of the column along the x-axis.
Rotational release at the bottom end of the column along the y-axis.
Rotational release at the bottom end of the column along the z-axis.
Either Hanger, Gravity, Lateral, or Not for analysis. Used by external analysis applic-
ations to determine whether the column contributes to lateral analysis.
Infinitely rigid frame element with no weight. When Rigid Links is enabled, an ad-
ditional analytical segment is engaged in the model between the end of the ana-
lytical model of a beam and the analytical model of a column.
Toggles the auto-detect parameter to display the horizontal projection of the
column.
The plane of the column used for analysis and design. For more information, see
