I would love to have gridlines to help keep everything straight. Also, a toggle switch that doesn't allow you to select the grids.

It becomes difficult when there is no template that can apply to joint for connection design. For instance, I have I-section column and hollow rectangular section beam. There is no template that can design such kind of joint.

Implementation of ACI 318-14 code in concrete design for anchor design in Ram connection (In Design of Base Plate) due to client However, the software tool supports only for the code ACI 318-08 , ACI 318-11 and ACI 318-19 . Need STAAD Version whic...

As far as I am aware, RSS does not track the load transfer when a wall is sitting on a one-way deck without a supporting beam or wall directly below. The loads from the wall above the deck is "lost". My firm does a lot of multi-family construction...

Add Fixed end beams to the gravity beams for design.

In the Analysis -> Load Combinations we are able to view a member force envelope for the Max or Min, but not the absolute value for worst case loading. When looking at a braced frame elevation with brace axial loads, in order to determine the a...

It is already widely used

I am designing a horizontal column-beam-brace connection where one beam is a W12 section and the other is a W8 section. Due to field conditions, I cannot adjust the beam elevations to align at the column. Given this, we should be able to modify th...

This provision is useful in PEB buildings where all structural members are formed by using built-up plates. By using this option, we can avoid supplementary web plates uses in connections.

Currently you can only export the end reactions to a report. It would be beneficial to be able to export the reactions at ever node (specifically to a text file) a long the wall for foundation design.
