Add option to link joists over full length of member

When linking joist reactions, if you want a uniform PLF repetitive contact, add option to link over the full length of member.

You can't see the full length of the member on this screen so you have to add the link, then go back and edit the location to cover the full length of member

    Thank you for your feedback! Typing "r" into the distance field will automatically set the field to the member length. I realize this is not intuitive and will suggest a note or other means to convey this information to the user.

    I never knew of typing R which is a nice feature. But I find myself that most of my loads are full span so it would be nice if this was the default and then we can change to partial distance as it would just make things quicker.
