RAM Concrete Column makes use of data from RAM Modeler, RAM Frame, and RAM Concrete Analysis. For this reason, any change to the model within any of these modules will affect the RAM Concrete Column status.

Issuing the command File > Model Status will bring up a dialog that explains the current status of the model. If the model is in a state such that it cannot be designed, an explanation of how to get the model to a designable state is provided.
