Stud Width and Thickness

The following problems with the new inputs for stud thickness and width in Wall Input view were corrected

Conversion of Custom Stud Width and Thickness (Bug 2410)

When you entered your own width or thickness (rather than selecting a value) this number was divided by 25.4 before being used in design, and the smaller value appeared when you entered the view again. This resulted in very large deflections due to bending, and correspondingly low wall stiffnesses. It could also skew the distribution of loads to shearlines and within a line in a way that could be conservative or non-conservative for shearwall design. The unit conversion causing this problem has been corrected.

Stud Thickness and Depth Unit Label (Bug 2415)

While in Wall Input view, if you changed from imperial units to metric units or visa-versa, then the unit label of the stud thickness and depth were displayed in the original units, not the units switched to. It would remain that way until any other operation was done in this view. The correct units now appear in all circumstances.
