Output Summed Reactions at Tilt-up Wall Joints

RAM does not currently have a direct way to get the combined reaction from two tilt-up wall panels at a joint with a gap assignment. This makes it labor-intensive to design deep foundation elements such as piers/caissons which are commonly used at tilt-up wall joints to provide support for both walls at once because the reactions from both walls have to be either identified in the output and manually combined or exported to Concept on a weightless mat foundation and pulled from Concept column/spring force output. The cleanest solution would perhaps be to program the two nodes at the bottom of a gapped wall to merge resultant forces when any element with a single node is provided below (ex: concrete column, solid wall, spread footing, etc.).
