RE: How to model slopped columns in etbas
It shouldn't affect your analysis. ETABS doesn't treat frame members differently based on their orientation for analysis. Obviously inclined members will have some p-delta issues to resolve but that's because of the geometry not because ETABS is calling it a brace instead of a column. Even design shouldn't be affected, I've designed braces as columns many times.
