Please, add an option to select members by section type or material.

There doesn't seem to be a way (at least not obvious) to add custom shapes and materials in the STAAD built-in Ram Connection. So if you have a custom connection like this then you must use the stand-alone. This is frustrating when you are using s...

For bolted flange plate beam-to-girder configurations, RAM currently uses a bolted flange plate only at the top flange, and shows a CJP weld for the bottom flange to girder web. We often will use flange plates at BOTH beam flanges. It would be gre...

We often use directly-welded moment connections, with beam flanges that are full-pen welded to the supporting member. RAM Connection can do that for beam-to-column connections, but it would be great if you could add that connection for beam-to-gir...

Provide triangular bearing pressure results in either the report or on the diagrams page. Provide triangular load distribution in the Home page for earth pressure lateral loads.

It would be useful so that we can accurately navigate the model. It is a real pain to navigate RAM as it is and it is much easier in competitors programs. Right now you click and hold the mouse wheel to navigate left and right but it is difficult ...

I am designing a horizontal column-beam-brace connection where one beam is a W12 section and the other is a W8 section. Due to field conditions, I cannot adjust the beam elevations to align at the column. Given this, we should be able to modify th...

It would be nice to be able to see the wind pressures on the 3D view of the building.

It looks like RAM Concept uses an approximate method per Table 22.5.8.2 for calculating Vc and does not use the alternative option Vc per 22.5.8.3. There are cases where the shear capacity per 22.5.8.3 is less than the approximate method Per Tabl...
