Ram Frame Drift plots

A lot of the other programs have options to plot the interstory drift. RAM frame gives the numbers which need to be looked individually and can cause mistakes.

An option to plot the max drifts or drift at a certain point over the story height will be handy on my opinion.

    You got it. I was also referring something that etabs does.

    Etabs has an option to graphically see the plots of interstorey drift which is very inuitive and doesn't need an extra step in the process to import the numbers and plot the drift.

    The drift - at control points report does now provide Max/Min and Max/Avg values for drift to aid in torsional irregularity checking. Is that the kind of thing you are looking for? If not, maybe an example of what you need to report and why t's critical could help.
