Live Load Discrepancy b/w Frame & Concrete

Hi,

I'm trying to verify some gravity loads with a concrete building. However, when I run RAM Concrete gravity analysis, the axial live load in a particular column is significantly less than the live load calculated in RAM Frame even with the option to skip loads off. The combined reducible and unreducible live load cases for said column amounts to ~160 kips in RAM Concrete while in RAM Frame the load is ~330 kips. I understand that the two modules do not necessarily analyze models in the same way, but the discrepancy seems a bit large.

Is there an area that I'm overlooking?
