Develop a procedure for linking RAM SS & RAM Concept models when both steel framing and two-way slabs are on the same level

There is a pretty nice procedure for importing geometry from RAM SS to RAM Concept for two-way slab design and vise versa to capture the two-way slab properties in RAM SS. But this is really only idealized for when there is only a two-way podium a...
