There is a new code for Stainless Steel that has been published by AISC. It would be nice to incorporate the code checks for AISC 370 for materials that have been selected as stainless steel.

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

Member/Connection Type symbols sometimes crowd a drawing too much, or is too long (e.g., when dealing with Tee members taken by halfing a wide-flange section). It would be nice for an option within the Drawing Style Manager to activate/deactivate ...

Please allow users to manually override Mark IDs that are generated by AutoDrafter.

Please add support for OpenBuildings Designer being able to open drawings from AutoDrafter.

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').

in standard section data base only 90Deg hat is available, we are mostly using 75Deg hat

Many STAAD users in Singapore and Malaysia have requested to implement the cold formed member design to EN 1993-1-3. We have lost some prospects to competitors because of the absence of this code in STAAD.Pro. This may be a feature that is request...

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...

Sometimes, a member requires the assignment of a Beta Angle for a particular member, but after some iterations, it might not be needed. In the Beta Angle assignment tab, when someone defines a Beta Angle, it exists—but Beta Angle 0 is removed. In ...
