Add walls to members that can be sent from BC Framer to BC Calc.

Wall design is not enabled in BC Framer, but is in BC Calc. Framer already has tools to input openings quickly, so it would be helpful to take these walls and send them to Calc for tall wall design.

I-joist slope cuts....

Why is there a i-joist slope cut detail in Framer (detail F14), but yet BC Calc will not allow you put the slope cut in an i-joist?
