Is it necessary to adjust insertion point accordingly for each element? i know it would economise the design but what is the easy way of adjusting insertion points?

Hello everyone. I would like to model eccentricity of columns and beam but I have encountered some problems using the insertion point in Etabs. Here are my questions: 1. What is the difference between using cardinal point and joint offset? I tried to joint offset a column as if it was offset using the cardinal point (eg. bottom left), but then the analyze results are different. Why? 2. When using the insertion point, we have to transform the stiffness. I did not do any offset but changed the transform stiffness option to "yes" then applied a point load at the top. Comparing to columns without stiffness transform, the results are different. Would anybody explain why? And when we use the insertion point, shall we transform the stiffness of the object with offset? Or shall we transform the stiffness of objects which have connection with the offset object as well? Appreciate!
