Update XML Link (v8.2 - Feature 186)

The following capabilities have been added to the XML file link that allows Sizer to communicate with other software, such as Revit.

New Program Features

The following features first implemented in version 8 now can be passed via the XSML link

• Span type (Design Span, Clear Span, Full Span)
• Supporting member Type, Material, Species, Grade,  Bearing length, Bearing width, Bearing at support end, Point load bearing length, Point load bearing width, column Lower support
• Unknown bearing length options ( Use exact minimum, round to closes fraction, pick from section list, round exterior but use list for interior)
• Member description

Project File Save Location

Indicate to Sizer the name of the project file created from the XML data, and what folder to save it in, for Interactive Mode only.

Width and Depth Input

The program was sometimes interpreting width and depth inches as feet. This has been corrected.

Roof Joist vs. Floor Joist

The XML transfer can now distinguish between joist types.

Automatic vs Manual Self-weight

The Sizer program was disregarding the setting passed as to whether the self-weight was automatically included by Sizer in loads analysis.

Company Info

The four lines of company info were offset by one line; this has been corrected.
