Shear Walls & Portal Frames

Can we get an option to design a shear wall? Portal framing around garages or large openings are pretty common and it would be very handy if Forte could add this functionality. We already have wind loading built-in so adding the sheathing calculations with field & edge nailing schedules & hold downs would be nice. Adding a seismic option would be a bonus too.

    This would be amazing. There is actually quite a bit to consider here, so this would need a kind of major program update, but I definitely second this idea.
