The selected slab areas define the import perimeter. Only RAM Structural System support members within the import perimeter will be imported. For example, in the figure in "Controlling which concrete members are imported", if the 1st story elevated slab is imported with the "columns above" setting, the two furthermost right columns between the 1st story and 2nd story will not be imported as they are not within the slab perimeter of the 1st story elevated slab.

The following structural members can be imported:

1. Slabs
   • All slabs of the selected slab type.
2. Beams
   • All concrete beams from the selected story.
3. Openings and Penetrations
   • All openings and penetrations within the import perimeter.
4. Columns
   • Any column (below and / or above) whose center point lies inside the import perimeter.
5. Walls
   • Any wall (below and / or above) whose center line is contained by or crosses any part of the import perimeter.
6. Grids
   • All orthogonal and radial grids.
