Updating Cracked Factors in Ram Modeler should not delete wall design groups/section cuts/rebar assignments in RAM Concrete Wall

Currently, if the user sets up wall designs in Ram Concrete Wall, updating the cracked factor in RAM Modeler deletes all Concrete Wall groups/section cuts/rebar assignments/etc stating that "the geometry of the wall was updated."


This gets extremely annoying when using RAM SS for the tilt module capabilities, as the cracked factors assigned are often based on the reinforcing layout. If the reinforcing layout is changed, the out of plane (bending) cracked factors often must be modified. With the current program setup the user is forced to completely re-assign all Concrete Wall Design settings every time the cracked factor is reassigned, despite nothing about the wall changing geometrically.


The cracked factor is completely independent from the wall geometry and should not cause this issue. Of additional note, if the cracked factor is changed using the API, this prompt does not occur and the Concrete Wall Design settings remain intact, so therefore something is wrong with the program UI in modeler.

    We are looking into a way to revise f'c within the Wall module without returning to Modeler to prevent the clearing of sections (Feature 565300). Let us see if cracked factors might also be done the same way. Thanks.
