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.

Change the way data is exported to CSV/Excel format

Currently when the user exports data to CSV, it's basically a text version of the pdf data output. The organization of data is difficult to post-process because the data has page headers based on load cases and combinations (among other items). At...

Wall Design - too many redundant design warnings

I don't need multiple design warnings for the same condition. For example, I have an out-of-plane shear strength warning for one of my segments. I have 26 warnings (associated with 26 combinations) for the same condition. The "worst" one listed in...

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...

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, ...

Assign HSS Column Series

In the Column module, you should be able to assign HSS Column series to be checked (such as HSS5X5, HSS6x6, HSS7x7) similar to how you can assign a specific Wx column series to be checked.

Applying lateral line loads over a beams or columns under Wind load case

Applying lateral line loads over beams or columns under Wind load case. Can we apply line loads over beams or columns under the Wind load case? Attached snip for ref. Since grid A is the outer face of the building we have a roof canopy beyond grid...

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.
