AutoDrafter - Do not show "Rigid" Member Symbol if member is a free end
AutoDrafter currently shows a rigid member symbol when a member has a free end with no other members connecting to that location. It would be great to remove these redundant symbols
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').
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...
User use different software for modelling building depending on how much user-friendly the software is.
Now reactions at base level are required to design mat or any footing for which SFA can be used.
But since there is no option like in earlier o...
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...

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).
