Ring Tool - Ability to define Branch Type for each projection angle

Currently, the Ring Tool is limited to apply all Run Branch types or all Tee Branch Types. Why doesn't the tool allow the user to independently define which nodes need to be tees or runs? See attached screenshot for details.

Wind load acc. to EN 1991-1-4 (Wind)

In the European Union we design wind loads acc. to EN 1991-1-4 (Wind), hence it would be nice if wind loads are implemented as in other pipe stress analysis programs.
