Member Description (Feature 45)

In previous versions, the Project Description in the Design Settings was unique to a file that represents a single building member. You could use this input to describe the building project then describe the particular building member

Now, all files in a project to share the same project description, so an input has been added to distinguish individual beams or columns from the rest of the project. A Description field has been placed into each of Beam Mode and Column Mode materials input screen. It is used to enter text that appears in the Design Results and Design Check output..

There is no member description for concept mode.

The limit for a member description is 70 characters in order to display properly on a single line in each of the output reports. The output appears in slightly larger font above the line that gives the material specification for the member.
