Slab Penetration Layout - Adjustable View Box

In RAM Modeler, the Layout>Slab>Slab Penetration Layout dialog box is not adjustable - it would be beneficial to be able to make this view different sizes when you work on a project with a large amount of slab penetrations. For example the a...

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, ...

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.

RAM Concrete Beam Module - Copy Reinforcing

Provide a command to copy beam span reinforcing for beam span to adjacent Beam Line similar to the "Copy beam line to beam line." This is a "time saving" feature. This feature would need to "overlook" beam lentgh differeces.

RAM Concrete Beam Module - Effective Depth d for different Beam Directions

It is common to set the primary steel effective depth "d" at one depth for all beams in one direction (ie, North / South). The used a different effective "d2" depth for the transverse beams reinforcing steel (ie, East / West) to pass below. This c...

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.
