Designing Studs for Specific Beam Size

In RAM SS, I have a group of beams that I know the sizes I want, but need to come up with number of studs and camber. Is there a way I can do this?

All steel beams are specified as composite in the modeler. I've gone to "process" and cleared both designs and sizes. I then go to "assign -> beam size" and assigned beam sizes to these specific group of beams. Finally, I go to "process -> design all." This designs all the beams I have not assigned sizes to, including their studs and camber, but does not design the studs and cambers for the beams I had previously given beam sizes to.

I know one way around this would be to clear skip assigning beam sizes and go back to the modeler and apply beam constraints that could kind of "trick" RAM into designing the composite beams with the sizes I want.

I'm wondering if there is a simpler way.

Thanks,
David
