Member Release Bubble - scale / highlight

At present member releases shown as circles at beam ends, makes the view a bit congested with node numbers ON, which makes it difficult to cross verify the DJ1 & DJ2 parameters.

if we have an option to scale down the circle (or) introduce a 'transparancy' option (or) even better highlighting the ends of the beam in different color (just as the way SHIFT+E highlights the start and end of a member), i belive would be helpful.

    Thank you for your idea. This seems like something that perhaps could be developed further. This could be used to make some meaningful change to make it easier to interpret larger models and maybe there is a better way to communicate the end connectivity when viewing large models with many different end conditions defined.

    For example it is possible to colour code the structure based on the assignment of specifications (although this needs some further development to cover situations where members are assigned multiple specifications. However, that might give you something to consider with the current version of STAAD.Pro
