There you may find conditions for continuos, hinged etc.
 
For panel Zone specs Assing Menu Joint Panel Zone.

Again, one may model everything 3D with the constraints etc. This is required at some shops but not usually in the structural world where even the codes are geared for a different practicality. Nor the scale of structures nor its spread nor the computer capacities of now, nor to say that of training, support to practice otherwise.
 
I just want to model in the way that I get accurate and reliable result so if I consider hinge for joints it should be ok
