I have just started using this tool. I have beams that pass beside the column 7" centerline to centerline. The columns get a shelf angle on the face for the beam to sit on. I use several different connections to accomplish this connection, but the main part used is the Joist Seat. While making my first templates I noticed an option I would like to see. I would like you to add 2 Beams and a Point to the choices. this would allow me to select the column, the beam and the elevation the seat needs to be at. If I use 1 beam and point the bolts will not automatically attach to the beam. If I use 2 beams then the angle is set based on the template and not the beams depth. There is several beam sizes used and I need this condition quite often.
