When a beam isn't working, knowing all the design stresses and beam properties would make that easier to work through options. Being able to see E, I, and Fb would be really helpful. I can back it out or calculate but it would be faster if just stated.

E isn't all that obvious for LVL, I would like to see Fb and Fv somewhere in the output as it makes it easier to debug/diagnose any differences between my calculations and Forte (dimensional lumber and LVL).
What I mean with the E comment for LVL is that the program has clear E values, but they don't exactly match anything in the Weyerhaeuser ESR for microlam.
This would be helpful for when reviewing shop drawings to confirm that the supplier is providing an adequate strength beam.
