    I have a wall column that has a concentrated lateral load around mid-height. I would like to be able to size the column in Forte

    Although we do not have lateral loading capabilities beyond wind loading, you can specify bracing, including custom spacing, through the dropdown for Bracing Options on the Loads and Supports tab. Are you looking for bracing options in excess of what is currently provided?
