If you can do it in Risa, why not in Forte? I know this is a wood program mostly, but it does come up occasionally.

Add "stud grade" or equivalent to available commodity lumber species presently available to expand options

Adding "stud grade" to available options will increase flexibility for member sizing in lieu of having only #1/2 or #2 grades as the minimum base line per species.
