Effective Lengths

I am calculating a column that is restrained at the base, held in the head in the X-direction, and can buckle in the Y-direction. I have set the effective lengths using nodal supports. In the design, the values of the effective lengths for the calculation are both the same L_ (cr, z) = L_ (cr, y) = 2.41 m. What am I doing wrong?

Answer:

It is also necessary to specify the coefficients for the effective lengths. The top and bottom of the table work together. The upper table shows the segments for the design in each direction. The lower table then defines the effective lengths by means of factors or absolute values.
