I am wondering if there has been any progress on implementing 50% unbalanced snow loads for cantilevers. In a forum post from 2020, Seth Guthrie said that it was on the backlog ( https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum...
Only show column size tag once if column is continuous floor-to-floor.

RAM SS-Option to turn off transverse beams bracing the bottom flange of support member
Similar to RAMS beam, I'd like an option to globally or individually turn off the bottom flange bracing of beams framing into a support member in the Gravity module. This is somewhat taken care of in the lateral frame module, where you can assign ...
In the Column module, you should be able to assign HSS Column series to be checked (such as HSS5X5, HSS6x6, HSS7x7) similar to how you can assign a specific Wx column series to be checked.
Additional customisation for Shear Lug provision in Baseplate - As per CSA S16
Currently the customisation option available for Shear lug provision for Baseplate design as per CSA S16 is very limited. We can currently only give one lug (Rectangular shape) in both the directions. We would like to have customisation options wh...
