Export Floor From Etabs-2013/15 To Safe V14

(OP)
Dear all,

Three options are available when export floor from Etabs-2013 to safe-v14

EXPORT FLOOR LOADS ONLY
EXPORT FLOOR LOADS AND LOADS FROM ABOVE
EXPORT FLOOR LOADS PLUS COLUMN AND WALL DISTORTION

CSI recommends option number 3 when solving under lateral load, please refer to the following link:

https://wiki.csiamer...romETABStoSAFE?

my questions

1-If i follow option 2 is it wrong?
2-Why option number 3 doesn't have stiff area over column locations? and if i put stiff area is it o.k?
3-An expert engineer has the following opinion on option number three in an older version, please refer to the following link:
http://structural-ex...-ETABS-to-SAFE
does the new version solve that issue regarding the previous link
Thanks
