Please follow the below steps to achieve this.
1. Make sure that the ProStructures Snap and ProStructures Legacy Snaps are enabled in the PS Toggles.

to switch the snap point to the center of the beam as shown in the below image and then left click to select the first vertex of the line.
3. Same way hover over to the bottom of the column and select a second vertex to place the line and then right-click to reset the command.
4. The SmartLine is now perfectly placed as shown in the below image.

7. Select the first column as the First Main part to connect the bracing.
8. Then select the second column as a second main part to connect the bracing at the opposite end.
9. The Bracing dialog opens up. Here, you can set the values and options as per your requirements in different tabs.
10. Bracing will look like the below image with the above settings.
11. The Gusset Plates are clashing with the Baseplate of the column, so here we need to use Add Cutting Edge button to cut the edges of the gusset plates.
12. Select a new border line for the bracing by selecting the top right point of the Baseplate.
13. This way, you can cut the edges of the gusset plate.
14. In The same way, you can select the beam’s bottom line as a new border line for the top bracing to cut the edges.
