OPTION TO ADD CUSTOM OR "OTHER" LOAD CASE FOR GRAVITY LOADS

There is currently no option so specify an "Other" load case when adding gravity loads in Modeler through PropTable - just Dead and Live - even though it is possible to assign a nodal load to an "Other" Load Type when in Modeler elevation view. RA...

Allow Ram Beam and Column module to report / show reactions and base plates for frame beams and columns

Allow the user an option for the beam and column module to show end reactions of frame beams and include frame columns in base plate design / summary. Even if with a warning. In many cases I need to define a member as a frame member because it is ...
