When I am in RAM Concrete Shear Wall and I try to create a section cut, the program unexpectedly closes and returns me to the RAM Manager. I do not receive an error message. The RAM Concrete window just completely closes and I am unable to get past this step in the design. The file is too large to post, but does anyone know what might be causing this crash?
Brian, I've been having the same problem too.
When I run it in the latest version, the problem section cuts are purged automatically.
If you can't upgrade at this time, this tool might help, but it deletes all the section cuts in a model.

Note, for a model like this I would not advise having section cuts so closely spaced. Even if it works it's going to take a really long time to run.
Seth,
The tool you posted worked like a charm. I will try to get the latest upgrade as soon as possible for future use. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.
I am trying to use this file to purge openings, but it is having issues running. I am currently up to date on the RAM SS updates. I believe the issue is that this code is looking for a .db.sdf file that no longer exists in the newer versions. All I am seeing is a .db file. Is there any way we could get an updated code?
There should be a db.sdf file still. If it's not there for a model with openings, that's a sign of corruption, perhaps a virus scanner or similar is preventing the program from creating and updating the files in the working directory.
