Simplify Input of Accessory Materials

Simplify the input of accessories.  Allow the user to input single accessories (blocking and rim), similar to how a user is able to input beams.  Also, for it not to be associated to a container.

    MiAlicia, 

    Thanks for looking at this.  I disagree that this "already exists."  The quick input is much better - but not the same as asked for in the in the idea.  As for commercial projects, this is probably one of the more desired ideas for BCFramer.  Accessory Materials is the most frustrating part of commercial work in the BC Framer.  Input of accessories that are not associated with framing areas would help overcome the flaws of accessories.  Even if they are non-load transferring or non-design accessories for use as ladder blocking, rim and/or blocking for shear walls, blocking for balcony connectors, drag-strut blocking, mid-span blocking, and any other extra pieces that need to be drawn to fulfil the requirement of details by the EoR.
