RAM SS-Option to turn off transverse beams bracing the bottom flange of support member

Similar to RAMS beam, I'd like an option to globally or individually turn off the bottom flange bracing of beams framing into a support member in the Gravity module. This is somewhat taken care of in the lateral frame module, where you can assign ...

Flexibility in modifying the tributary height for Wind Load exposure for buildings with varying levels of diaphragms

RAM wind load currently gets applied taking the trib height as half the difference between the two levels. It would be tremendously useful if there was an option to modify the trib height, thereby playing with full height or partial height exposur...

Allow Pseudo-Diaphragm Loads to be applied to beam-only frame lines

Currently RAM Frame only applies pseudo-diaphragm loads to beam/column frame lines that include columns and the loads are subdivided based on the column tributary areas, not the beams. However, in many cases, collectors need to be detailed for var...

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...

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.

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...

SELECTING AN END POINT FOR BEAM EXTENSION CANTILEVER

There is only an option of inserting cantilever length or provide X or Y intercept for beam extension. It would be useful to have an option of selecting an end point like stubs.
