Welcome to the Boise Cascade Engineered Wood Products Software Ideas Portal!
We welcome your EWP Software suggestions and ideas.
I want the ability to assign loads other than the Standard Load to be associated to the end of the member, so that when I change the length of the member in BCCalc, that the Load will adjust with the length change. For example, if I have a 16' I-Joists, with two additional wind loads, and I change it to 14', currently I have to edit each additional load. If the end of the loading reacted like the Standard Load, it would be a time saver. I believe in old TJ-Beam, while entering a load, instead of putting in the right dimension, you would enter "R" into the End location. I would assume to be the Right End and it would be Dynamic with changes.
