Is there an option to output factored axial forces for vertical bracing to DXF output a bit like displaying end reactions for beams? Its very laborious to either to print off the member forces or use the view / update command and view analysis output for the worst case member forces.
Regretfully, there is not an option to create a DXF of a frame elevation that displays the max/min axial force in braces. I will submit this as an enhancement request on your behalf.
You can display member force envelopes on screen in RAM Frame Analysis mode for both load cases and load combinations. To do this, click on Process - Results - Member Forces Envelope. Viewing these forces in an Elevation view may be more convenient than using Member Force Reports or Member Code Check Reports.
