If I'm designing a Microllam or TimberStrand as a joist member, I do not get the option of a Multiple Member Connection

In commercial space particularly but also in long span residential jobs, I may need to design ML or TS as multiple ply joists. I know the multiple member connection is a simple one but code officials want to see that on the calculation, not to go to our specifier's guide. Please add this functionality.

    Not a bad idea, and should be somewhat easy to implement. Even if just the table from our literature and a note that all loads assumed top loaded (since its a joist).
