Column base connection design - Number of bolts & arrangement

[Anonymous]

 Hi,

I want to design the column base plate connections. My loads are high and the column is circular. In the anchorage tab of the connection design, there are only three bolt arrangements available with max 4 bolts and the option to increase the number of rows or columns is greyed out.

How do I increase the number of bolts is this case?

In such case the connection may no longer match the pinned category. What about creating a fixed column base one instead and apply no bending moment if it doesn't exist in the connection?
