Beam Orientation arrows - scale/size

In STAAD.Pro Advanced 2024, please add tool to adjust the scale (size) of the "Beam Orientation" arrows. it is impossible to distinguish from one member to another with the arrows so large.... this was an isolated view of a portion of a much larger model

    I support your idea to fix this, but a temporary workaround is to zoom in using ZOOM WINDOW and the arrows re-scale. Then, even if your scroll-zoom out, the smaller arrows remain... until you turn them on again or edit something, as usual with GUI configuration in STAAD.
