Specify maximum mesh size for different objects

RAM Frame uses a single mesh size for the entire model - all walls and all floors. An appropriate maximum mesh size for a coupling beam might be as small as 6", but that is excessively small for the entire floor diaphragm. RAM should allow the use...
