Accumulation of Direct Shearline Force for Seismic Design (Bug 2630)

Starting with Shearwalls version 8, when a seismic direct shearline force was applied to a shearline, the program did not include that force in the rigid diaphragm design shear. The direct forces did show up in both plan view and elevation view, but not accumulated with forces on the line from the generated loads, so the numbers overlap. This has been corrected and the seismic direct shearline forces are once again included in the design shear force.
