Curved beam or curved slab edge

Most building structures has curve edge of curved beam. Please add a feature to model curved beam or slab edge. Also, design of curved members specially using concrete and steel material.

Wheel zoom should zoom into the spot that the cursor is at on the screen.

When using the mouse wheel to zoom in or out, the screen should zoom in where the cursor is. RAM is the only software I have ever used that zooms in and out to a random, arbitrary, undefined point and it is very difficult to zoom in close to objec...

Click and hold mouse wheel to drag and pan model like in Bluebeam, ETABS, SAP, RISA, or Autodesk.

It would be useful so that we can accurately navigate the model. It is a real pain to navigate RAM as it is and it is much easier in competitors programs. Right now you click and hold the mouse wheel to navigate left and right but it is difficult ...

RAM Frame - Find by element and graphically display shell element numbers & mesh warnings

Whenever RAM Frame gives a warning about distorted shell elements, the report log provides a list of the affected elements and their coordinates. However, the only way to identify these elements graphically is to move the cursor to the coordinates...

RAM Structural System - Ability to sort and filter fields in the property tables and assignment dialog boxes

When adding, updating, and assigning custom member sections, deck sizes, and loads in RAM SS, it can become cumbersome searching through the properties tables for the correct table entry since they are organized by the order in which they are adde...

3D Wind Load View

It would be nice to be able to see the wind pressures on the 3D view of the building.

Option to see the gobal deflections in beams

This could be a little complicated but would be extremely useful in cases where we have multiple transfers and we need to make sure the members have desirable global deflections in addition to local.

Option to change the rounding off in the reports

All the reports given by RAM have values that have many decimal places. Anything more than 3 digits after decimal places is not usually significant in the results.

Ram Frame Drift plots

A lot of the other programs have options to plot the interstory drift. RAM frame gives the numbers which need to be looked individually and can cause mistakes. An option to plot the max drifts or drift at a certain point over the story height will...

Ram Concrete Beam loading diagram

I wish RAM concrete had an option to graphically show the loading for individual load cases as well. Currently, load diagram shows the values for the uniform loads but not point loads. If there is a transfer condition, we cannot see the load value...
