Reference numbers, referred to as Frame Numbers, can be assigned to some or all the members of a frame. RAM Frame uses these numbers to organize output to printed reports and screen output. While frame numbers are not required by the program, they are an excellent way to organize output.

• Select View > Elevation Mode.
• With the cursor, select the frame on Grid 4.
• Select Options > Show Property > Frame Number. This command will cause the frame numbers of each member to be displayed on the screen. Having these active while you make frame number assignments provides visual confirmation.
• Select Layout > Frame Numbers.
  
• Check all four settings for Columns, Beams, Walls and Braces.
• Type 1 for Lateral Frame Number.
• Click [Fence].
• Fence the entire frame. The frame numbers will change from 0 to 1. Any lateral member that is not assigned a specific frame number is, by default, set to be part of Frame 0.
• Label the other frames as follows:
  • Braced Frame on Line A is #2,
  • Braced Frame on Gird F is #3.

(Refer to 3rd Floor Framing, Figure 1 on page 15, at the beginning of the Modeler section).
