Released on November 19, 2014 with Design Office 9, Service Release 2.
Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in WoodWorks Shearwalls for version 9.2 and may not reflect current program behaviour.
The Hold-down Design table of the Design Summary output was reporting walls as having failed hold-down design for multiple building levels when it only failed hold-down design on the lowest level listed. This has been corrected.
After additional blocks are created for roofs only, with no attached walls, the program was creating a duplicate set of wall wind shear loads for walls on the other blocks. For multi-storey buildings this was happening on all levels except the top level.
If the project file was saved and then re-opened and then loads were re-generated the duplicate loads were no longer being created. This has been corrected.
When there were non-shearwalls on the exterior of the building with C&C loads, Shearwalls would crash when the Accept Design button was pressed. This has been corrected.
After additional blocks are created for roofs only, with no attached walls, and wind loads were generated on these blocks, then one of these blocks is deleted, the program would sometimes crash the next time you tried to save the file, re-generate loads, or run design. This has been corrected.
If you elected to show the design group numbers for each wall in Plan View via the Show menu, the drawing would not be updated if there were non-shearwalls on the exterior surface of the building with C&C loads. The Plan View drawing would freeze up until you disabled this option. This has been corrected.
The Components and Cladding table in the Design Results was not including results for exterior shearlines which had only non-shearwalls on the line. This has been corrected and results now appear for these walls.
The Sheathing Materials and Framing Materials by Wall Group tabled by in the Design Results were not including results for exterior shearlines which had only non-shearwalls on the line. This has been corrected and results now appear for these walls.
The title in the program output "Wind Suction Design" has been changed to "Out-of-plane Wind Design". This is because the governing condition can be either suction or bearing of wind.
Previously pressing Ctrl-C caused a file close, when the standard operation that users expect is to copy selected text in an edit control, leading to significant frustration. This has been corrected and Ctrl-C now copies text and there is no shortcut for closing a project file. .
