In ETABS, how do you produce a column with zero stiffness? Thank you.

What kind of stiffness - axial or flexural? Either way just set the member property modifier for the behaviour you are interested in to an insignificant number.

I want a column to have zero flexural stiffness. I want all the shear to be taken by the shear walls.
