RAM Connection/RAM SS brace angle override

It would be nice if the integrated RAM Connection would allow a permanent override of brace angle on CBB and CVR connections. RAM SS designs to an analytical line at the top of the beams, and we design braced frame connections to the centerline. t...

Continuous Footing - Option to not consider perpendicular footings

Provide an option so that perpendicular footing loads are not applied to the continuous footing. I'm not sure I understand why the program does this in the first place. It seems like you are accounting for the load twice under the current rules.

Applying lateral line loads over a beams or columns under Wind load case

Applying lateral line loads over beams or columns under Wind load case. Can we apply line loads over beams or columns under the Wind load case? Attached snip for ref. Since grid A is the outer face of the building we have a roof canopy beyond grid...

Clear column sizes in modeler elevation view.

When running schematic designs, I want to reset sizes when adding additional lateral frames. Currently, the only way to clear out sizes is to fence plan by plan. It would be much faster to do this by elevation.

RAM Concrete Beam Module - Copy Reinforcing

Provide a command to copy beam span reinforcing for beam span to adjacent Beam Line similar to the "Copy beam line to beam line." This is a "time saving" feature. This feature would need to "overlook" beam lentgh differeces.

RAM Concrete Beam Module - Effective Depth d for different Beam Directions

It is common to set the primary steel effective depth "d" at one depth for all beams in one direction (ie, North / South). The used a different effective "d2" depth for the transverse beams reinforcing steel (ie, East / West) to pass below. This c...

Freeze Beam Size in the Steel Beam Module when "Update Database" is clicked.

Currently, if you select a beam in the Steel Beam Module, select a new size, click Analyze, and then click Update Database, that size is permanently attached to the member (i.e. frozen). However, if you select a beam, click Optimize, and then clic...

Allow for user input of base plate dimensions.

It would be very useful to be able to input width and/or length of base plate dimensions. If width is input, length would be optimized or if length is input, width would be optimized, or if both dimensions were input it would do code checks based ...
