My understanding is Rigid Frames are good for lateral force because they are “rigid” so I am very confused by the answer to the high-rise question that rigid frames would not be a correct answer. I also researched more about rigid frames and found this: [What are the Types of Frame Structures? - The Constructor](https://theconstructor.org/structural-engg/types-frame-structures/35850/) Would appreciate further explanation please. Thank you ---

Hi @ylouka can you message me the question you’re referring to please? Rigid frames are appropriate for tall buildings, however they’re quite costly, which is why most high-rises that you see use some other type of lateral support system. ---
