Calculate section properties when adding new shape to database

Two things here:Have the ability for STAAD (in the physical modeler) to calculate the section properties when entering a new shape into an existing database. For example, I'm adding a new hat channel into the AISI cold formed Profiles database. In...

Steel Design Parameters in Modeler

I assume this has been mentioned before (might even be working on it) but being able to specify the steel design parameters in the Physical Modeler would be a game changer. A separate design module would be good too (sorta how RCDC works), but I d...

Add option to pick which Axis releases are applied to for angles in STAAD

It is unclear which axis is a release is applied to (whether the geometric or the local) for angles. Giving an option would clarify that plus make it easier to do one over the other.

User interface not intuitive at all

STAAD graphical display and user interface seems way behind compared to other similar software in the market. The controls for GUI are obsolete, inflexible and difficult to navigate.

Steel Design Parameters in Physical Modeller

I assume this has been mentioned before (might even be working on it), but being able to specify the steel design parameters in the Modeler would be a game changer. A separate design module would be good too, but I don't think it's necessary.
