Glulam as joist option

Please include the option to use Glulams for roof or floor joists. On projects where clients wish to use glulam rafters it would be quicker to be able to design as a common joist in order to compare different spacings as opposed to designing glulam rafters as roof "beams" and having to manually adjust spacings under the loads tab. It makes things time consuming when trying to test different spacings.

    GLB's are a common rafter and joist material for exposed beam construction and this would save time from hand calculations.
