Decent App for Simple openings

It’s quite easy to use for simple calculations say a knock through but for more complicated work with multi point connections its an engineer job and therefore i would give this app a good 5 star for the effort.

Metric Units only

I see no means to switch between metric units and English units. Also, no consideration of AISC members.

Metric only

Wasted my money here.

Metric only

I live in America. Metric does not work and there is no option to use imperial measurements. Horrible waste of money for an American builder.
