Explanatory legends explaining the meaning of the symbols used for loads and forces in Elevation View and in Plan View have been added. Separate legends appear for wind and seismic design, and for Loads and Forces action versus Generate Loads action
Plan View, Loads and Forces Legend
A legend is added to the bottom left corner of the view. It shows the symbols for shearline forces, hold-down forces, compression forces, vertical elements, applied shear loads, dead loads, uplift loads, and discontinuous shearline forces applied as loads.
Plan View, Generate Loads Legend
A legend is added to the bottom left corner of the view. It shows the symbols for generated shear point loads and line loads, generated building masses, and floor areas for mass generation. Forces or user-applied loads are not shown in this action.
Load Factors and Combinations
When the legends indicate that loads and forces are factored or unfactored, it means that they are or are not multiplied by the load combination factor.
There is a line at the bottom of the plan view screen indicating load combination being used for hold-down and compression force calculations.
Elevation view Legend
A legend is added to the bottom right corner of the view. It shows the symbols for tension hold-down and anchorage, and compression, forces for shear overturning, dead, uplift and combined, hold-down magnitudes; load combination factors; shearline forces; the meaning of the various shear force arrows, and the symbol for drag strut forces. Slightly different legends appear for seismic and wind output.
Elevation View Title Block
The large amount of empty space above the title bar in Elevation View has been reduced to the size of a reasonable margin.
The title block has been reconfigured differently for printing and for screen display. It now shows,
On the first line in print mode,
On the second line in print mode, first line in screen mode
On the third line, in print mode, still on the first line on screen
