I would like to improve the find element button: Instead of looking only nodes in the from to field only, would be nice to look for nodes at bend angles Node 1, Node 2 and Node 3 and also in hangers and restraint nodes. If is not too much to ask, I would also like to have in the find (but in the output processor) the option to find text streams. The point is, if you change the node number to a name, you get the names in your report, but the names are not searchable as nodes are.
One correction: lets say that you have an element with a dimension like 2’-3.25”. And you have another element, larger than 2’-3.25”; in wich, you want to make a break with the length of the previous one (2’-3.25”). If you copy the dimension from the DX, DY, or DZ box and try to paste it in the “distance from node” the number gets changed no matter what.
