Structural Loads

Hi, I'd like to complain about something. Despite the fact that I feel like I'm the only person in the world sometimes trying to use any of the implemented structural model capabilities.

During load placement, I'm prone to make mistakes when typing values.

There's  no way to tag and see those values.

There's no way to schedule the loads and look at the values. And even if there was, I feel like I should be able to name them, like 1A, 2A, 3A and so on or even "Wall 1", "Wall 2" (I'm talking masonry walls, they're heavy), this way I could compare them to excel, double check.

I have to click every single element to look it up. 

Being able to get element's weight based on material density which is already inside archicad wouldn't hurt. (I'm not even talking loads from walls)

 

I feel like nobody who tested the feature tried to select it a second time. I suggest that you try, it's very tricky to click and select a load In floor plan.
