As part of user assigned beam sizing, occasionally would like to override the default camber value reported.

Please Incorporate the Splice Connections consider the seismic provisions from AISC 341-10 codes in RAM connection software. This will be very useful for High seismic zone.

99% of the details I have seen for vertical x-bracing shows one member continuous. I design a lot of connections for a steel fabricator and I am always required to perform a hand calc or 2 ram connection calcs with one being the horizontal X-brace...

Adding an axial design check for beams or collectors to a braced frame lateral frame system. In particularly for rigid diaphragms these forces are not applied to horizontal members and require separate hand checks or analysis in another program. T...

Provide keyboard shortcuts for RAM Modeler similar to CAD to speed up time it takes to create a model.

Currently, the program seems to only design per NDS provisions for solid-sawn lumber and glulam. It would be beneficial to add the ability to analyze and design LVL, PSL, and other structural composite lumber types. The provisions are very similar...

There should be options for checking gravity beams/columns for multiple load combinations. Having to select whether snow or live loads are to be used is a bit 1980's era softwaresk. Additionally, it would be beneficial to be allowed to apply wind ...

Please develop a system that allows the user to specify different layers for different objects being exported to CAD. As is, most objects come in on different layers, but all reinforcing is on a single layer, all tendon info is on a single layer, ...

We don't see many rectangular structures these days. Would be great if RAM Frame could generate wind loads for non-regular building shapes (e.g., "C", "L", & "U" shaped floor plates). This would be a time-saver having not to hand calculate and...

To model masonry walls using the wide column method, it is necessary to place properties of the transformed section, hence the need to be able to edit the properties of the section without having to change its measurements.
