For built-up columns and wall studs loaded in tension, when you selected Case 2 Load Sharing as defined in 5.4.4.2, the program assigned a system factor KH of 1.0, as Table 5.4.4 says Case 2 is not applicable to tension loads. However, it should instead consider it a Case 1 situation and apply the system factor of 1.1. This has been corrected.
Note that in such a situation, you still need to be able to select Case 2, because you could have a dead, live and wind loads on the column where there are some uplift and some gravity load combinations. Since Case 2 provides a greater system effect than case 1, it should be assumed that for tension, the member meets the requirements of Case 1 when Case 2 is selected to handle the compression load combos.
