During this section of the tutorial, you will construct a 4 story building with a variety of member types and configurations. You will start by creating the 2nd Floor Plan as shown below. Then you will copy and edit that data to create additional floors. The model is intended to show many of the capabilities of the software all in this one model and as such may be somewhat eclectic.

To invoke the RAM Modeler, from the RAM Manager Menu Bar,

• Select Model (or click the Square button labeled Model in the upper left corner).

The 3rd floor of the tutorial model is depicted below for your reference. Refer to it when the written instructions are not clear.
