Forte Software Ideas

Added Member Option I did not ask for.

Why does the program now give other options out side of the ranges I give it? See Attached Screen Shots, on the Product Selection tab I set the depth from 9.25 to 11 7/8 and I set the Spacing to 12" and 16" and when one goes to the Solutions tab it lists 14 and 16 inch deep members and for spacing it adds 19.2 and 24 in spacings. There is a reason I set a range of sizes and spacing and if I want to explore those other options, I will included them but I do not want all that extra stuff to have to glean through to find an option that fits my parameters. Why do I even bother to enter parameters if the program is going to ignore them? If you must show these extra ones for what ever reason, add a radio button like you have for the "Show only solutions..." to turn off added suggestions.

    You nailed, that was the trick. They keep adding these "Features" and they catch us off guard. I had gone over that option but did not understand what it was about, I thought it had to do with something else. Once yo explained it, it now makes sense.

    Thanks!!

    If you go into the 'User Menu' in the upper right corner and select 'Settings', there is a toggle to turn on/off 'Include Product Suggestions During Design'. I believe that it is turned on by default.
