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.

Allow Ram Beam and Column module to report / show reactions and base plates for frame beams and columns

Allow the user an option for the beam and column module to show end reactions of frame beams and include frame columns in base plate design / summary. Even if with a warning. In many cases I need to define a member as a frame member because it is ...

Account for wall transfer loads on one-way deck

As far as I am aware, RSS does not track the load transfer when a wall is sitting on a one-way deck without a supporting beam or wall directly below. The loads from the wall above the deck is "lost". My firm does a lot of multi-family construction...
