The Results - Drift - At a Point command is available only to models which have rigid diaphragms at some levels.

Selecting the Process - Results - Drift - At a Point command causes the Select Plan dialog box to appear. The point from which to measure drift is selected from the floor plan of one of the levels. From the list of story levels, select a story by clicking on it. It will become highlighted to indicate it is the floor plan that will be displayed.

Clicking OK will cause the floor plan of the chosen level to be drawn on the screen and the target cursor will appear. Clicking Cancel will return you to the RAM Frame program.

Click the target cursor on the point at which you wish to measure drift. Any point can be selected. The drift report will be displayed on the screen. The report states the deflection, interstory drift and drift ratio for each level for each analyzed load case. Note that if the point selected is outside the slab edge the drift values reported are those assuming the rigid diaphragm extended to the selected point.

To exit the drift report, double click the control bar in the upper left corner.
