What is the difference between these? It would be great if you point to the section in the manual which speaks about these and how it would affect or what RAM assumes oren-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/521332?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 10 May 2019 17:40:27 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:354d68f6-3bc9-497c-8a58-e7b039cb2310Karthik Madhur<p>Thank you!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/521331?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 10 May 2019 17:38:44 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e578e25c-7da5-4ea4-b7af-fae99c104f54Seth Guthrie<p>That&#39;s fine.&nbsp; I would call the corner column an OCBF, but it does not really matter for columns.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/521328?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 10 May 2019 17:27:05 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:c1effad7-cbc2-47f6-b79e-794712c1cd81Karthik Madhur<p>Seth Thank you!
