HSS Truss model in RAM elements and connection design in RAM Connection

In RAM Elements,  what is Bentley's recommendations for modeling web members who's centerlines to not align with the chord centerlines ( reference AISC figure C-K2.4) in particular, when the 'pin' is outboard of the chord:

1) what do you recommend one uses for the 'extremely stiff member'

2) modeling recommendation where the web crosses the chord?

Also, RAM Connection contains Chord - Branches (CHB) joints,  why can't I assign this connection to my Nodes in RAM Elements? 

Thanks!
