Uplift Loads on Walls with Openings (Bug 2744)

When uplift loads were added to a wall with openings, the elevation view displays incorrect values superimposed on top of one another. Each opening added to the wall caused an additional increase in the incorrectness of the uplift load magnitude. The incorrect uplift load magnitude was used to calculate hold-down forces, which were shown in Plan View, Elevation View, and the Hold-down Design table.
