Forte Software Ideas

Please allow for different orientation of member sizes.

Some people like to design for a 6x stud wall but only use a 4" high member. They call out 6x4 instead of using a 4x6. Forte does not allow using a height lower than the thickness of the member. Please have an option to switch orientation of the member so if I select a 4x6 I can click that option and the calculation will switch the values of the height and width of the member.
