Which modules within RAM Structural System use reduced live loads (if reducible live loads are applied)?
Is live load reduction performed for the Post-Processing -> Foundation Loads -> Gravity from RAM Steel Reports?
Is live load reduction performed for the RAM Frame->Reports->Reactions Report?
Is there a way to toggle whether live loads are reduced within each module (outside of changing the load properties in the Modeler)?
Is there a fast way to toggle live load reduction on or off for a single column within a large multistory building without changing load properties on all the live loads in RAM Modeler?
Live load reduction is calculated automatically for one-way decks only. If you are using two-way decks, then the live reduction percentage needs to be manually assigned. If the live load reduction setting is set to "Use Calculated Value" for two-way decks, then no live load reduction will be applied. More on live load reduction for two-way decks can be found on the web page below:

In response to your questions:
1. Yes, the Foundation Load Summary Report will include live load reduction. Also, note that this report does not include loads from two-way decks.
2. Yes, the RAM Frame Reactions include live load reduction.
3. No. If loads are reducible and the LL Reduction has not been manually assigned to 0%, then reducible live loads will always be reduced.
4. Manually assigning the LL Reduction % in RAM Modeler (Layout - Columns - LL Reduction) is the best option.
