We use this tool extensively and have just a couple of small improvements to suggest.
1) No one I know would miter-cut rim joists, except the occasional carpenter that takes my drawings a little too literally! It takes several extra minutes to go around and butt-joint the rim, so if the tool were to do that automatically. . .what a great help.
2) Please add a max-length setting for the rim. I know you can possibly buy very long rim material (if you're not working with solid-sawn stock), but it's not very practical to have the take-off read (2)-43' joists!
