Column offset and wide column effect New Feature
Using this option the support width effect is considered at preprocessor and accordingly the span moments and end moments of beams are calculated. Since the moments and shear forces are calculated at the face of
columns it results in economical design. Details given on next page.

• When two members such as a beam and column are connected at a point, there is some overlap of the cross-sections. In many structures, the dimensions of the members are large, and the length of the overlap can be a significant fraction of the total length of the frame element. Defining end length offsets along the length of frame elements can account for these finite dimensions of structural elements.
• When a line object is used to model a frame section, the line object is assumed to be located at the centroid of the frame section. Thus, when line objects (frame sections) intersect in a model, it means that the centroids of the associated frame objects intersect. In a real structure, that is not always the case. For example, it is not unusual for one or more floor beams in a building to frame eccentrically into a column.

Saving default selected bar diameters for all components
Improvement
Now user will be able to set his preferences for bar diameters for various components separately.
Once you save the selected bar diameters for any structural component that will be reflected in all project unless you change it again.
