No doubt it's too late for feature for 5.00, but I've got one to put on the list for some time in the future. I really like the new reducer element that was added. Even though it is largely meaningless for my fellow B31.3ers and I, I use it reguarly now to make the models looke more "accurate".

I'd like Coade to consider adding a pipe cap element as a graphical option for an element. Often times, when modeling a tower or drum, there's an elliptical head and there's just not a good way to code it so it looks "right" without using a bunch of short elements and step changes, and I don't typically want to invest that much time.

While I don't typically model the extra overhang of pipe that make a pipe cap, I'd certainly make use of it if it were available to give a little bit or realism to the graphics display. As it is, the piping systems we model don't do much to hold anything with the holes that we have at the end of the pipe runs

I think if we could have a switch that would draw an element as a pipe cap/elliptical head, even though it treats is as normal pipe for analysis, would be a nice future upgrade to the graphical capability of the program.

You're right, it is too late for 5.00. I'll add it to the list though.
