I am modelling a museum in ETABS which has cast in place concrete shear walls. All the walls has bunch of openings in it and I would appreciate if someone can verify if I am using correct pier and spandrel labeling method. ETABS tutorials and design modules only cover simple types of openings, and I am not sure if what I am doing is giving me correct results. I have attached a typical two story wall sketch with my pier and spandrel labels. Please let me know if anything I am doing needs to be changed. Thanks in advance!

I forgot to mention that I am not repeating any of pier and spandrel numbers for any floors.
