Why do I no longer receive errors when I change mesh to be only at visible gridlines?
...
Answer: In ETABS v9 and older columns are not automatically included as meshing locations. Therefore it is important to mesh at grid lines to avoid ill-conditioning and to ensure a stable model. For ETABS 2013 (v13) and beyond, floor default meshing recognizes columns as meshing points, hence this is rarely and issue anymore

Why do shells appear meshed though I have not assigned an auto-mesh?
Answer: CSI Software automatically uses general meshing to mesh any areas drawn using more than four joints. To avoid meshing when no auto-meshing has been assigned, subdivide the object such that each region has four joints or less.
