I am working on a steel frame and need to make it as light as possible. From what I have read here the SELECT OPTIMIZED command is the same as the SELECT command but it will reiterate the checking without you having to tell it too. My concerns are:
1.I have the same code but I get different responses on the unity check and the Design Property beam size if I use SELECT vs SELECT OPTIMIZED. The bottom portion of my code is below:

2. Sometime I will get a unity ratio over 1 but the Design Property beam size is smaller than what I already had, how is this possible?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
