Option for no top/bottom plate

Sometimes I get bearing failure on a PSL column that is buried in a wall even if it is sitting on concrete or a steel stud track. Can we have the option to remove the top and/or bottom plate?

    The connection calcs are not great for Forte in general. They make a lot of assumptions that are often not accurate. I know they want this software to be user friendly, but making it impossible to edit these assumptions (not just being hidden in an options drop down) makes the software unusable for many applications.
