Forte Software Ideas

RIDGE BEAMS

Forte used to have an option for "ridge beams". Now you show "flush beams" as the roof option.

I think this can be misleading or confusing . While you treat them the same in the software calculations I don't think of them the same. I think of the flush beam as a header as the icon shows and this makes me take pause.

I recommend putting the ridge picture back up and the flush beam also. It should be no sweat on your part to make this easier for the user.

thx.
