I would love to see expanded snow loading capabilities that let you apply different load distributions that are enveloped for design. Specifically for gable roof structures, ASCE 7 requires that you apply a "balanced" load (uniform across the whol...

We need a way to access and edit nodal loads through data access. It is painful having to manually define and assign all the point loads through the modeler elevation view. Could we at least assign them in frame? Instead of assigning point loads t...

It's now 2024, many if not all of the requests in this forum have been open requests for YEARS and in some cases over a DECADE. Why is this program not being updated other than for new code requirements? Wind uplift still has not been implemented ...

Pretty self explanatory. Allow the user to convert a construction grid to a primary gird element. Grids are constantly changing throughout the design process due to requirements for columns to shift/etc. The tools for modifying primary grid system...

As part of user assigned beam sizing, occasionally would like to override the default camber value reported.

RAM Beam needs to allow zoom with mouse scroll similar to other RAM modules.

Adding an axial design check for beams or collectors to a braced frame lateral frame system. In particularly for rigid diaphragms these forces are not applied to horizontal members and require separate hand checks or analysis in another program. T...

There should be options for checking gravity beams/columns for multiple load combinations. Having to select whether snow or live loads are to be used is a bit 1980's era softwaresk. Additionally, it would be beneficial to be allowed to apply wind ...

Provide keyboard shortcuts for RAM Modeler similar to CAD to speed up time it takes to create a model.

RAM concrete ignores out-of-plane shear stress less than 0.000050 ksi. Allow us to increase this threshold or ignore it entirely. I'm still getting walls flagged for 0.2 kips of out-of-plane shear in a 10' wide by 26" thick wall.
