I&#39;m wondering if there are any special requirements in order to have RAM use the main floor diaphragms to calculate the tributary heights for the wind load distribution. I&#39;ve created a sketch showing how I&#39;d like RAM to consider the floor to floor heights. Thanks in advance for any advice/tips for modeling this!</p> <p>&#39;,<img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/800x800/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5932/RAM_5F00_SS_5F00_Question.png" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
