Input Bugs

User-applied Wind Shearline Forces (Bug 1593)

When entering wind loads on a building face, the default extent of the load was furthest extent of shear resisting elements in the orthogonal direction to the wind loads, and not the length of the building face bearing those loads, when there were non-shearwalls at the ends.

Distribution Method for User-applied Shearline Forces (Bug 1596)

The Distribution method of user-applied shearline forces was not saved with the project file, so the Distribution method for such a force was being reset to All Distribution Methods when reopening the project file. This has been corrected

Default Wind Load Extent (Bug 1778)

When checking the "Implement as a factored force applied directly", the wind direction changes to "East to West” from "Both directions", so that often loads were inadvertently entered only in one direction.

East-west Shearline Forces in Load Input List (Bug 1590 )

For East->west or West->east wind shearline forces input directly, the load direction displayed in the load list of load input view was the opposite of the input force. This did not occur for north-south forces, and had no effect on load analysis or design.

Levels in Load Input (Bug CSW7-10)

The range of levels in the Add a New Load input form is now synchronized with the range of levels in the Load Input form. Previously it was resetting to 1 to the maximum number of levels in the structure. The default should be the same as the “Levels” in the “Load Input” dialogue box

Wall Type Update on Change of Standard Wall (Bug 1730)

The wall type shading in the Plan View drawing did not update immediately upon selection of a new standard wall.

Rigid Diaphragm Loads and Forces Settings (Bug 1769)

In the Settings->Loads and Forces section of the menu, the Rigid diaphragm check boxes for plan and elevation view displayed the settings saved for the Flexible diaphragm selections.

Point Load on Opening End (Bug 1464)

When a point load was added to a wall directly over the start or end of an opening, the program was crashing.

Deleting User-applied Forces

The program would crash any time a user-applied shearline force was deleted. This has been corrected.

Status Bar Messages (Bug 1617)

The status bar was not displaying any message for the Site Dialog or any of its controls, while for the Wall Input, Roof Input, Generate Loads and Load Input views the messages were displayed only for some of the input controls and were truncated in a few instances. New status bar messages have been made for all controls in these views, and truncated status bar messages have been abbreviated.

Inconsistent Capitalisation (Bug 1453)

Input fields throughout the program composed of two or more words were inconsistently capitalised. The style is now sentence case unless it is a title to a window
