As far as I am aware, RSS does not track the load transfer when a wall is sitting on a one-way deck without a supporting beam or wall directly below. The loads from the wall above the deck is "lost". My firm does a lot of multi-family construction...
Please add modeling features that allow for the sloped beam or slab and tapered beam or slab. These can help in easy modeling for ramps and other structures.

Could we get the option for other than rectangular openings in shells? Round openings in particular would be very helpful, especially in an FEA program where sharp corners create large stress concentrations that may not even be present when many o...
I would like to request that you make an option available to make the units for the bar presentation different from the units that I work with in plan. I tend to work with inches when I am adjusting the geometries of slabs and bars because working...

Allow gusset BASE PLATE connections to be assigned at corner columns connected to braces in two directions.
Currently, there is no way to design a gusset base plate connection if the column base has braces coming into it from 2 different planes. You can't even assign 2 separate connections, one for each plane, like you can at CBB joints.
Designing a Vertical X-brace connection with one member continuous
99% of the details I have seen for vertical x-bracing shows one member continuous. I design a lot of connections for a steel fabricator and I am always required to perform a hand calc or 2 ram connection calcs with one being the horizontal X-brace...
RAM Connection should have the capability to design any kind of joints
It becomes difficult when there is no template that can apply to joint for connection design. For instance, I have I-section column and hollow rectangular section beam. There is no template that can design such kind of joint.
