RAM connect - a Base plate with Gusset plate

Hi,

A. I am trying to detail a base plate with gusset plate in RAM connect.

I tried the following

1. I set a new joint defined as CBB (column, base, braces).
Then assign to it "Smart gusset plate Base plate" but I got the following massage: "[Error] Assignment errors for joint 1 [Information] GBP (CB): Connection is not compatible with this type of joint".

Then assign to it "Smart fixed Biaxial base plate" and got the following massage: "[Information] Shear and moment connection Fixed biaxial BP was assigned to joint 5"
But when I tried to assign the
I tried to assign to it "Smart gusset plate Base plate" and got the following massage: "[Error] Assignment errors for joint 5 [Information] GBP (CB): Must have at least one brace (Right brace, Left brace)"

Thank you in advance
