Extend the Take off Command to Plate elements

It'd be nice to be able to use the take-off command on plate elements. Similarly to beams where the take off give the section, length, and weight. Having the take off give thickness, area, and weight would be really helpful.

Postprocessing display of multiple design blocks for AIJ codes

Currently, it is possible to display results for multiple design blocks with AISC360-16 results only. This feature is also required for AIJ2005 and 2002. In AIJ codes, load cases are classified into parmanent loads, temporary loads and loads for...

Multiple design parameters results in post processing window for Indian code IS 800-2007 is requested.

This will reduce the tedious process of turning on and off each design parameter from editor file and then running the full input file again multiple times. If this can be implemented for AISC-360 then it shall be implemented for other codes also.
