# Requesting a calculator or new feature

> How to request a calculator or feature now that Blueprint is closing, and what to include so the product team can scope it.

Blueprint was where a lot of good calculator ideas started. Those requests now go through a route the product team reviews on a schedule, rather than depending on who was reading the forum that week.

## Request a calculator or feature

Submit it at [calcs.com/request](https://calcs.com/request).

Include as much detail as you can:

* **What you need to calculate.** The member, connection, or check, and the design situation.
* **The standard and edition.** For example AISC 360-22, ACI 318-19, AS 4100, NBCC 2020.
* **Your region.** Standards coverage differs by country.
* **How you do it today.** A spreadsheet, a hand calc, a textbook method, another piece of software.
* **How often it comes up.** A check you run weekly is treated differently from a one-off.
* **Anything you can share.** A marked-up sketch, a worked example, or a screenshot of your current spreadsheet tells us more than a paragraph.

The detail matters because it is what lets our engineers scope the calculator properly the first time.

## Found something broken instead?

If a calculator exists but is not behaving as you expect, that is a bug rather than a request. See [Reporting a bug](/docs/blueprint/reporting-a-bug).

## What about my old Blueprint requests?

Previously logged requests have been provided to our engineering team for review. If you had a request open on Blueprint and want to know where it got to, email [support@calcs.com](mailto:support@calcs.com).
