Remove 6 inch limitations in STAAD Foundation Advanced 2026

There is a maximum limit 6" for pile embedment and also for bottom steel reinforcing in mat foundations in SFA 2026. There is no code basis for this limitation and there are cases where this could be significantly larger. Currently is is making the punching shear checks invalid when the actual value exceeds this limit. Please remove the 6" limitation in both locations. Note: This idea is being added under STAAD.Pro due to it's relationship with SFA and because there appears to be no link to provide ideas directly for SFA under the ideas portal.
