header Configuration - Allow 2ply plates above or below header

In many cases we need 2ply plates above or below the header for wind load resistance. Currently the workaround we are using is to select a 2-5/8" member to get the design to pass, then change the drawing to show 2ply of 1-1/2" thick material.

allow a wall end or begin at a "supporting structure"

Many times a tall wall is tied into adjacent platform framing or some other solid supporting structure. In this case the wall would be framed with a single stud laminated to this solid supporting structure, which almost acts as a ledger. This...

Multiple Item Filtering

It would be helpful to be able to filter out stuff you do not want to see. If we do not want to see designs that are Complete and/or Waiting on Information you cannot filter both of these not to show. Currently, we only have a filter for a single ...

As a BC Estimator user I would like to be able to show or label material differently, when it comes to spacing. Even thou it is the same material.

EX: 11-7/8" BCI 6500 @ 16" OC label differently then 11-7/8" BCI @ 12" OC. Right now they lump the material all under one label.

Save button closes editing window on Dashboard

As a user I would like to be able to exit the editable fields area once I hit the Save button and the saving process is complete. Currently I have to wait until the save function cycles, then hit the Cancel button to resume regular dashboard viewing.

"Copy and Shift"

Add a right-click option that will "Copy and Shift." It would work like the Shift, but it would copy the selected item and offset (similar to offset in CAD programs). It would save several clicks of the copy and shift-paste.
