When members are merged any design parameters they have are lost. If members that have the same design parameters are merged, the newly created member should retain those parameters. Also, if the members had code checks done on them before the mer...

It would be nice to have such a command, instead to do several selections, and than to use Invert selection.

In the Loads window when you pick an existing load it highlights that load clearly. However, if you then click into the model window, say, to assign a member to that load, it changes it to a very light grey background. If you are going down the li...

In a way as STAAD has it now is not practical for usage.

I highly recommend to include calculation of vertical seismic load using NBCC 2010/2015 . I see it as a big gap in Staad Pro not to include calculation of vertical seismic loading using NBCC 2010/2015

Improvement should be done on RC wall, during modelling on places of RC wall i don't place beam on top of the wall because the wall it self act as a beam,but when it comes to assign of floor load in places where there is no beam on RC wall the flo...

Automatic creation of shear wall should be made available like etabs. Creating shear wall should have straight forward approach like etabs. in staad the approach is little tediuos

Currently when you do the intersection of two beams, STAAD finds the intersection without taking into account any offsets the beams may have. The result is you have to manually move the node at the intersection if offsets are involved. This is mad...

STAAD does not consider the additional width of the fireproofed members; producing underestimated wind generated loads for open structures like piperacks. Please include this feature as this would make several of my colleagues happy.
