It is possible to turn off or alter the wind drift limit for portal frame columns.
Currently however, it needs to be done on an individual portal frame column by column basis.
To do this.
- Hover over the column of the portal frame and ensure the Select Entity tooltip highlights just the column. (Use the Up/Down cursors or Tab to toggle until only the column is highlighted).

- Once the column of the Portal Frame is highlighted, right click the column and Edit Span X XX Column.
- On the Design parameters page
- Set the Wind drift check limit or uncheck Wind drift check to turn it off for this individual portal frame column

- Repeat for other columns as required.
