Display Reactions in Job Summary Page

It would be a huge time saver to be able to see reactions next to the member design in the Job Summary tab. Having the Results and Current Solution listed there for all members in a project is very helpful, but having to click each individual member to see the reactions is time consuming. Listing the reactions next to each member design will help a lot late in a project when designing posts or needing to provide reactions for foundations, supports, etc.

    I think just listing the total end reactions would be a pretty good start. Rarely do I need the breakdown of load cases when sizing simple 2x4 or 2x6 or PSL posts which is probably what I'd use it for 90% of the time.

    I had not thought of this, however i do the very thing you talk about and jump back and forth in and out of each design and have for years. This definitely would be a time saver, although it would likely take a second line (or more) for each calc to list all the various values (DL, LL, SL etc.) for each support.
