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.

Ability to Save Custom Shapes to File

It would be great to have the ability to save shapes to the file instead of locally. It can be difficult to keep track of custom shapes used on past projects.

Applying lateral line loads over a beams or columns under Wind load case

Applying lateral line loads over beams or columns under Wind load case. Can we apply line loads over beams or columns under the Wind load case? Attached snip for ref. Since grid A is the outer face of the building we have a roof canopy beyond grid...

Add welds other than Fillet Welds to weld group options in RAM Connection

Weld group only calculates fillet welds. Seems like a simple addition to check partial penetration groove, flare bevel, and other welds.

Clear column sizes in modeler elevation view.

When running schematic designs, I want to reset sizes when adding additional lateral frames. Currently, the only way to clear out sizes is to fence plan by plan. It would be much faster to do this by elevation.

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.

Giving Openings Priority over Beams

Currently there is no simple way to model a banded slab with complex steps and openings within the band so allowing the openings to have priority over the beams without checking the "Mesh as Slab" option would mean the beams could be simply added ...
