    Hi Bill, thanks for the follow up on this one, I know it been on your list forever.  I took the info from our prior discussion and created the attached mockup.  I believe it addresses your needs, but please let us know if it doesn't.  I'll work with our product manager to get this worked into the queue.

    This has been requested for the past seven years and it is requested very often by truss fabricator/customers that have this same capability with other brand sizing software.  Can you please provide a timeline to get this added to the BC Calc platform?
