Beam local axis symbol, scaling

After being introduced to StaadPRO, the one fundamental thing that I can't believe is not implemented is scaling of local beam axis symbols. It's at times almost impossible to find out the local axis of the beams in the graphic area, and this is very important information. Adding this scaling possibility would increase user friendliness massively.

    Hi Carlos and thank you for responding. I have used the scaling of support icons frequently in the short time I have used STAAD. Hoping this will be continued and local axis symbol will also be included. Its especially good to have when models get large.

    Thank you for posting this idea. This topic has been discussed different iterations of the program. However there are advantages and disadvantages to having the icons scale. We introduced the option to scale the support icon and control nodes, but do not see users utilise this so haven't extended this to other icons. We will monitor this idea to see if it gathers support to determine if this is a worthy exercise.
