The first check performed is your access to the RSS file from which the RAM Concept floor was imported. The export operation can proceed only if the RSS file exists, it is not currently open in RSS and you are able to access and modify it.

RAM Concept also checks the RSS file for changes made to the source story since importation into the RAM Concept file. If someone has made a "major" change to the source story, you must reimport from RSS and recalculate results before exporting. If someone has made a "minor" change to the source story, RAM Concept gives you the option of reimporting. Major changes include adding or deleting columns or walls. Changing a column size is a minor change.

RAM Concept cannot export the file if someone has added columns or walls after importing from RSS, or if any springs or rigid supports are present in the RAM Concept model.
