RAM Modeling - Use One Floor Type per Level TN
When building your model in the RAM Modeler you should only use one floor type per story if you are going to import the model into Revit Structure. In Revit elements are independent from each other, so if you want to change something for a group of elements you can select them and then apply changes to the group. In RAM it is enough to change one beam on a floor type and changes then will be reflected on all floors which use that particular floor type, i.e. all corresponding beams on other floors change. But if we change a beam in Revit and we want to update the RAM model from Revit, the Revit Link doesn't really know what to update. In RAM the beam has been generated by a floor type on multiple floors.
