RAM Structural System - Ability to apply RAM Concept custom template to Concept module in RSS

When using the RAM Concept module within RAM Structural System, the program forces you to use the default layers and settings in RAM Concept. However, if you have a heavily customized template for Concept, there's no way to apply it to the level extracted from RSS. As a result, users must either rebuild all of their custom plans & settings or manually copy & paste all objects from the RSS Concept model to a standalone Concept model created off of the template. It would be extremely useful if there was a way to apply the template to the RSS Concept model in order to keep everything within RSS.

I understand that this presents some issues with compatibility between RSS and the Concept template, such as differences in load cases, load combos, materials, and their dependencies (rule sets, load history steps, visible objects, plot layers & diff layers, etc). One way to resolve this could be an interface where users map the RSS parameters with the Concept template parameters, similar to how the Revit ISM plugin requires users to map Revit materials & load cases to the equivalent ISM properties.
