To all,
To answer most of your questions here, rather than exchanging ideas of which you are not so sure also if you are doing the right thing in ETABS I suggest you buy the following books from CSI everything is explained on how to model and design multi-storey building. I bought the last two books recently but I have not enough time to go through all of it yet. In production I'm still using Staadpro but start learning etabs and Sap2000 also.
