When updating a Concept RAM Concept file with new STAAD information - either via the Update From STAAD GCFF file menu item or by STAAD starting RAM Concept , the following dialog box opens.

The options in the window are the same as those discussed in "New file options in RAM Concept," but behave slightly differently due to the operation being an "update". For example if "Columns" is selected, all existing columns will be removed and new columns defined by the STAAD information. If "Columns" is not selected, no changes will be made to the columns in the RAM Concept file.
