When using RAM Frame for a seismic analysis, is it possible to set the response modification factor to a certain value such as 3 in the event that you are using Seismic Force-Resisting System H in ASCE 7-10 Table 12.2-1 which is for "STEEL SYSTEMS NOT SPECIFICALLY DETAILED FOR SEISMIC RESISTANCE, EXCLUDING CANTILEVER COLUMN SYSTEMS." We would like to use 3 instead of the calculated 3.5 given by the program.
