Only show column size tag once if column is continuous floor-to-floor.

In SColumn 3D view, viewing the column sizes shows labels at each floor. The labels often overlap (especially at HSS columns) and it is difficult to see. Recommend only showing the size tag once if the column is not spliced. Other parameters (Lb, ...

Back-to-back channel splice connection

Double back-to-back channels are typical for design of walers. Adding double channel section for beam splice connection with end plates would allow for this type of connection to be modeled.

steel column base joint design

Currently, there are relatively few stiffening rib arrangements that can be selected in RAM. There is currently no way to customize the arrangement of stiffening ribs in the software. This brings inconvenience to project execution. It is hoped tha...

Merge multiple connections which happen at one joint

I had a connection that required a shear connection framing from one beam, a moment connection from another beam and a horizontal brace from another beam all at one column. The detailer needed a combined detail merged as one. As another example, w...

Assign HSS Column Series

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.

Sort/Multi Select Load Cases for Analysis in RAM Frame

Enable Sorting and Multi Selection in the RAM Frame Load Case analyze dialogue. We frequently have to run multiple rounds of testing or when doing AISC Direct Analysis Validation create multiple types of wind and seismic loads. Having to scroll th...

Sort Concrete Beam Section Property Data in RAM Modeler

Please add the ability to sort both the section property catalogue and the assign sizes dialogue in RAM Modeler for more efficient workflow. On concrete buildings, as the design and detailing progresses, we get quite a list of concrete beam size...

RAMSS - Specify Joist Self Weights

Joist self weights are not included in the analysis by default due to varying manufacturer SWs, but you could allow us to specify a self weight in the beam module under the criteria/joists menu.

RAM Connection/RAM SS brace angle override

It would be nice if the integrated RAM Connection would allow a permanent override of brace angle on CBB and CVR connections. RAM SS designs to an analytical line at the top of the beams, and we design braced frame connections to the centerline. t...

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.
