User defined Cb value for cantilevered beam

I would like to specify the Cb value for a double cantilever beam in RAM.  The beam fails because RAM is using an unbraced length of the cantilevers + the main span.  If I am not able to specify the Cb value, would the correct procedure be to specify a weak axis unbraced length = cantilever length?
