Ability to delete brace in 3D and with change of Frame beam to gravity beam

The lateral braces in RAM currently can only be deleted by going to the elevation view of the lateral frame beam. This is a tedious task, if you are modifying the locations of multiple braces. It would be tremendously useful if the braces can be d...

Ram Connections should allow multiple changes in connection parameters (gusset and shear tab thickness, bolt sizes, etc.) before checking the design.

Ram Connections appears to recalculate everything for an entire connections as soon as a single parameter is changed (e.g., bolt size for left beam, gusset plate thickness for lower left brace, etc.). It would be more productive if Ram Connection ...
