AutoDrafter - Allow Manual Assignment of Member/Connection Type
AutoDrafter appears to have some automated rules that are not perfect; would be nice to be able to override Member/Connection Type within AutoDrafter (e.g., select a column member, right click, modify properties, change 'Member Type').
Untie the Section Name in the Properties window from the Base Unit settings
The proposed enhacement would allow the units that are being used in the model to appear correctly and complete in the Section Name window, and also in the reports because, for example, being tied as they are now only allows units to be presented ...
Add possibility to include B1 factor in Code checking Parameters with AISC 360 First Order Method
As per actual possibility provided by AISC 360, it is possible to perform design with Direct Analysis Method but also Effective Length Method and First Order method. In some case it is useful to do analysis with First order method (Dynamic Seismic...
Inclusion of updated IS code IS 1893 (part 4):2024 for design of steel structures
Changes in seismic design parameters or changes in class of Industrial structures in new code will lead to changes in seismic forces experienced by the structure. This may lead to different results than the one obtained from the old code (2015 ver...
Currently the latest NBC in the STAAD seimsic load generator is 2010. The changes for 2015 NBC are essentially none, and 2020 NBC is coming into force soon as well. This should be a pretty easy fix
Make it easier to see the full design of individually selected steel members
Create a default way to see the design of one or multiple selected steel beams. Once I select code and "design all". I would like to be able to click on one or more beams and instantly have a button to view the full design input and output. I beli...

Add ability to show "Colour by Utilization Ratio" for 3D view in post processing workflow
It would be good to have a 3D view in post processing with colours of the beam as defined with a UR value. It is possible to have this with beam view now, but would be good if we have it for 3D view like SACS have. (as shown below for example).
From 22years using Staad Pro, I propose to update the way to applied a load on beams as It's possible for nodes. In the case of nodes, We can do like this in one line: Joint Load 10 FX 10 FY -22 FZ 33 I propose You to update the syntax of applying...
Inclusion of SS EN 1998-1 Seismic Action & Accidental Torsion
Application of seismic action (including accidental torsion) for structure in Singapore using EN 1998-1 is cumbersome. Request to include this code in future development.
In STAAD.Pro Advanced 2024, please add tool to adjust the scale (size) of the "Beam Orientation" arrows. it is impossible to distinguish from one member to another with the arrows so large.... this was an isolated view of a portion of a much large...
