Purpose: To add a wall by using a distance offset from one end of an existing beam or wall and an angle describing the direction of the new wall:

1. Select the Beam-To-Beam (Dist, Angle) option button.
2. Select the frame of reference from which the Angle will be measured by clicking either the Angle Relative to Reference Beam 1 or the Angle Relative to X-Axis option button.
3. Type the distance from one end of a reference beam to the location of one end of the new wall in the Dist edit box. Note that a value of 0.00 for the distance is permissible.
4. Type the angle between the reference beam or positive X-Axis, depending on the selection in Step 2, and the new wall in the Angle edit box (between 0 and 90).
5. Click Add. The dialog box will disappear and the RAM Modeler will enter the Add Wall Off-Grid Layout Mode.
6. Click the reference beam.
7. Select the end of the reference beam from which Dist is to be measured.
8. Click in the quadrant for the new wall to be added. The closest intersection of the new wall with an existing member in the selected direction will form the second end of the wall. The wall will automatically attach to existing grids if available, or else it will create new grids as necessary.
