Ability to change member type (i.e. from roof joist to floor joist) after creation

It would be nice to have this ability rather than having to create a whole new member and copy the old loads

    hopefully this includes changing a dropped floor beam to a flush floor beam without copying beam and re-entering all info.

    I agree. Pretty silly to have to re-enter all the load and span info otherwise

    It would be very beneficial if it were possible to change the member type and retain all of its loading, span and support info. I accidentally put a member in as a roof drop beam and it needs to be a floor drop beam. The loading is complex and it would save me a ton of time to not need to recreate it.
