Connection Beams between plinths

Here's a new technical support issue that I wanted to share with our users

QUESTION
Do I have to assign a soil type to the connection beams between plinths?

ANSWER
When defining the connection beams between plinths, you don't need to assign a soil type because these are considered as part of the building's "Super-Structure".

These are not to be considered as "Winkler" type beams and their only scope is to connect up all plinths.
