Reintroduce report filtering option for "Max Forces by Property". (Filtering should apply to all items)

Reintroducing filtering "Max Forces by Property" to include by "View" and by "group", allows max member forces for selected members to be extracted simply & quickly. These max member forces can then be used in separate detail connection calculations.

This is a particularly useful option on large models.

Without this function, either the members need to be assigned different properties (so they are listed separately without filtering), or filtering has to be done separately using excel or something similar (which is a pain).

In general, I would suggest that if possible Staad should not lose any functions as new versions are released.

If you have a filter applied to report set up, then that filter should be applied to all items listed. It is a very bad idea to have a filter which only applies to some items, and not others. The user could easily be mistaken in thinking all results are filtered and then cause errors in the design. Having to investigate everything is time consuming (and I expect most people do not bother...) Analysis software requires confidence by the user. If simple things don't work (such as filtering), what else does not work...
