Are there any OpenSTAAD commands to use partial labeling for nodes and beams?

RAM Connection Update 2 (v13.2.0) Error
Hello,
I am trying to open a RAM connection file previously saved in v13.1. After the v13.2 update, I am getting the following error and cannot access any of my original connection designs.
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
Please let me know if you can help. Thanks!
Unable to add General Section via "add profile points" method
I am not able to add a General Section via the "Create User Provided Table" prompt. This issue is specifically an issue when trying create a General Section by using the "add profile points" method. I am able to add a General Section by using the Section Wizard tool (that is not an issue), but my only criticism of using the Section Wizard tool is that it does not show the true shape of the profile in rendered views, but just shows a line instead, which causes difficulty in knowing what orientation the shape is in. It is strange because I was able to add 2 General Sections before (months ago) using the "add profile points" method, but am not able to now. At the "Create User Provided Table" prompt, under my existing table "1", I click on "Add New Property", then check "Define Profile Polygon", then enter my Z & Y coordinate (profile point) values, then enter a "Section Name". I then click on the "Compute Section Properties" button, and that's when STAAD hangs and crashes. Could this be a license (CONNECTION Client) problem?
I am running STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition - Version 21.00.01.12

I am new in the area of Connection Design. Let me know how to design Circular Hollow section column Splice connection using Ram connection / Staad pro Connect edition.
warning: story drift not calculated, there are more than 1000 stories
hello
i am doing analysis of 30 story building , using static and Response spectrum by staad pro ss6
the analysis result do not show the STORY DRIFT even i added the story drift command
it show the warning : warning: "story drift not calculated, there are more than 1000 stories"

long dynamic modes time periods
hello
i am having lone time periods for high rise rc moment frames in compere to my spectrum medium duration (TL=6 s) , i also have zero spectral acceleration a manege to fix by developing my custom spectrum still my periods are high which i believe result in less spectrum response on my structure .

Temperature Loads in Staad Pro.
Hi,
Can you please help me understanding the following,
How do we apply the temperature loads to the circular HSS members for the attached case, where the coil with temperature 500 degree Celsius is supported by two HSS members.
I looked at the past post, but I am not clear yet.

Thank you.
physical modeler workflow and effective length parameters
If I modeled my structure using the physical modeler workflow, do I need to provide the effective lengths for buckling checks within the design parameter LY, LZ, UNL, etc for these segments of the beam in the analytical modeler ?
Sir pls help me
RAM Custom Load Combinations
I know RAM SS Beam Module and Column module have a restricted load combos. Is it possible to create custom load combinations using RAM Data Access VBA ??
Pile-Supported Mat using RAM SS>RAM Concept
Hello,
I'm currently working on a pile-supported mat on ram concept. I modeled my mat using ram modeler.
I can only apply my area spring I already have my pile configuration but I cant figure out how I can apply my point spring.

slab edges to create a diaphragm in each of the 5 bays
I need to create a separate diaphragm in each of the bays but I am having issues with the slab edge and load distribution. If i align the slab edges along the shared shear wall i get a message that the slab edges are intersecting. If I offset the edges - i get a message regarding the load distribution and the parameter walls? Can I create a separate diaphragm in each of these bays?
The model: concrete shear walls surround each bay. Walls that have adjacent bays share the same shear wall. The roof framing is steel beams.
Macro use in STAAD.Pro CONNECT
Hello All,
I'm trying to create a macro that will do the following:
1. Extract support reactions from a steel frame STAAD model for each support and for each of my applied loads (unfactored)
2. Summarize these reactions in an Excel table
3. Use above mentioned Excel table as input to a second STAAD model (mat foundation model) to assign reactions to the proper piers (column support node number and pier node number are the same for this purpose).
How do I go about doing this? Where can I get information of writing macros? Do I need to write a STAAD macro to extract infomation to Excel, or write an Excel macro to extract information from STAAD? Does STAAD use Excel tables an input to self populate such information?
Thanks,
Elena
Semi Rigid Diaphragm Cracked Factors
Hi I want to know the difference between modifying the stiffness by modifying the effective thickness for composite decks ( as per this https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/3348/ram-frame---semirigid-diaphragms-faq) vs entering manually the stiffness modification factors?

Can someone helps me understand the usage of the load case type: (primary,ultimate,service).
I have read at the help file that

but when I generated the service load combinations I noticed that the load cases that were assigned as an ultimate load case, where also used in the service load combinations as shown below
