RAM Structural System Help

Layout - Columns- Show

Selecting the Layout - Columns - Show command will cause the Target Cursor to appear and the RAM Modeler to enter the Column Show Layout Mode. Clicking near a column will cause the Column Show dialog box to appear. Layout - Columns - Show is independent of the material chosen.

The Column Show dialog box shows the selected column's coordinates (in current units), the column orientation angle, frame type, material properties and connection eccentricities. It also shows the size and end fixity conditions for Frame columns.

Clicking the OK button will cause the dialog box to disappear and the RAM Modeler to return to Column Show Layout Mode, allowing you to repeat the operation for other columns.

Clicking the Cancel button will cause the dialog box to disappear and the RAM Modeler will return to Normal Mode.

Clicking the Cancel button or selecting any other RAM Modeler Layout command will end the Layout - Columns - Show command.
