    first it depends up on the building type and next installation of walls it canbe easily decided by the structural engineer very effectively

    can't say about etabs but in a building the number of columns and shear walls is decided such that the center of mass (cg) and center of stiffness coincide, so that under lateral loads (earthquake) no torsion is induced in the structure.
