Love the steel beam feature. However, many of the steel shapes we would typically use in 4-5 story wood buildings are larger than the selection available (i.e. W18x106, or W21x101). Additionally, it may be better to not allow the user to proceed to the results tab when a steel beam is selected and a hole is part of the member design (I see there is a note in the report tab).
FYI, Bentley just started charging $400 or so per license of RAM S-Beam and we are unwilling to pay that much per user; this could be a feasible business venture with a premium subscription offered by Weyerhauser?

We can consider larger sizes up to a certain point. Once the steel exceeds a certain thickness we would have to take additional parameters into consideration.
