Column Running Through Wall

I have a roof structure resting on a steel column that runs to the foundations. The column runs through a perimeter wall that supports the false ceiling. A considerable part of the load from the roof is transferred to the wall. I want the steel column to carry all the vertical loads from the roof. How can I do it?


Answer:
The problem can be solved using a line release. If you set the zero release stiffness in the x‑direction of the column line, no vertical load should be transferred from the column to the wall.
