Thank you again for your input. At this time, the proposed feature adds more complexity and potential confusion than user value for the majority of our user base.
If your concern is the potential failure in our beam crushing analysis under the point load, an alternative is to input the load as a uniform load spread over the column foot print. If you would like help with this, please contact Engineering and Technical Services.
If we have misunderstood the motivation behind your request, please feel free to follow up with EWP Software Support.
