How can I confirm column eccentricity in RAM SS? Within the Data Echo report it notes in the column table that "values with a + indicate eccentricity plus 1/2 column dimension", then in the table is notes "+100" however these notes in the report do not change whether I have selected absolute or the aforementioned eccentricity or change the eccentricity values to 75mm, 50mm etc. Is this a glitch in the program? Is there a work around for this issue? Photo included shows 3 "different reports" from the same model with me testing different ecc. options but the note in the report remains the same.
Eccentricity is assigned column-by-column. There is a criteria in the Modeler that the user can set (options - set defaults...), but this has no effect on existing columns. To change the eccentricity on existing columns you have to use Layout - Column - Assign eccentricity (then select). If that's not the cause of your confusion, I suggest using the Ram Steel Column design report to check the final eccentricity considered.
