When RAM concrete performs its analysis on a floor by floor basis, how does it construct the columns for analysis? If I have a sloping floor and there is a column that is only 0.1' high to the next level, but really that is a dummy height to make the transition and the true column height is 10'+ is this taken into account? I am concerned too much stiffness is attributed to the column greatly increasing my demands.
The same goes for the columns that are defined to the half true story height -are these modeled / analyzed as 5' members or their true height?
