Does the latest version of Ram Elements produce an iTwin file that I can use to review and check a Ram model without opening or using a Ram elements license?
Does using this feature have a separate fee for using it?
I am looking for a file viewer like Structural Synchronizer to review and check models. Unfortunately, wood framing members are not included in Structural Synchronizer for Ram Elements.
Yes, the latest release of RAM Elements (16.3.0) has the new iTwin integration feature. With this, you can publish the model to an iTwin Design Review session on the web, invite other colleagues to the session, and collaborate within the Design Review session without having RAM Elements open. We are presently in a tech preview phase with this so you can use it at no cost. In the coming weeks we will be supplying more information on how to purchase access to this feature and additional iTwin services that will be introduced in the future.

"publish the model to an iTwin Design Review session on the web..." sounds like it is only used as a live presentation tool over the web. I was looking for a model file that I could use to check dimensions, loads, member sizes and other analysis/design properties. I would use this file to check another person's work or my own. I don't have a need for a live presentation tool.
You can review that type of information. At the post here, see Figure 4 and the text directly above it.
After I created a "Session", a screen came up with a large white band covering most of the screen. I never got any further. I I want to look at my "Session" a week later, where do I go to retrieve it and review it again without using Ram Elements.
Hello SVGregory, attached you will find an step by step HowTo to enable the iTwin services Design Review panel, to create a new session and to open an existing session using RAM Elements. Could you please give it a check and indicate us the step where you get the white band. Before proceeding, please make sure you installed the latest iTwin Analytical Synchronizer (v11.01.02.09) you can get it here and please make sure you are using the latest browser update (better if you use Edge or Chrome).PDF
