Lateral loads can be applied directly to lateral frames as Nodal Loads. These loads are defined and applied in the RAM Modeler rather than in RAM Frame.

The View - Nodal Loads command causes the Nodal Load Options dialog box to appear. To display the nodal loads on the screen, select the Display check box. The load label or the load magnitude can be displayed with the nodal load by selecting the Label check box and then choosing the type of label desired.

When the Display check box is selected, the nodal load cases in the Nodal Load Cases list box become active. From this list box, select the nodal load case to display by clicking on it.

The View - Options - Scale Text command can be used to change the size of the load labels as they appear on the screen to make them more readable.

To update the view on your screen while leaving the Nodal Load Options dialog box open, click the Apply button. To update the view on your screen and close the Nodal Load Options dialog box, click the OK button.
