Question

Hello everyone, how do I add a column on a beam at midspan on RAM SS? 
 Thanks

If we are talking about a transfer beam, then on the lower level model the transfer beam from end to end, say point A to point C. Then, on the higher level, model the column at point B. To make sure the column above (point B) is along the beam in plan, use reference layouts (options menu) and/or construction grids. Remember, we normally only show columns that project downward from the selected framing plan (and hanging columns that project upwards).
