Rotational Stiffness Only when in Compression

I would like to be able to model nonsymmetrical systems where baseplates are considered as pinned when in uplift and semi-rigid when in compression.
This works well for symmetrical systems, but when the system is non-symmetrical, I have to make two models for the loads going in opposite directions.

This could be done by adding a selection box to the springs tab where you can indicate only positive or negative rotational stiffness.
