Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in WoodWorks Shearwalls for version 9 and may not reflect current behavior.
Changing the Mouse click interval in the View Settings causes the Display Gridlines every __ snap increments to change automatically when exiting the box in order to maintain the same gridline display distance as before the changes. However, it did so even if the you had changed the Display gridline” manually. Now, the program checks if it has been changed manually before automatically adjusting.
When ASCE 7 low-rise was chosen as the Wind Load Design Code in the Design settings, the program would crash when the Loads and Forces tab of the Settings is invoked. This has been corrected.
The default shearline elevation offset has been set to 1 joist depth from 0.5 joist depths.
1/2 of the default 10" joist depth is less than the default plan offset of 6", so that a shearwall on a multi-storey building that was within the plan offset or another would nonetheless be placed on a different shearline, so that it complied with the elevation offset with walls on the level above. For example, a wall offset 6" on the floor below, but not above, would be placed on its own shearline.
The problem was exacerbated by the fact that 1/2 the default joist depth was less than the default snap increment, and walls must be created at least one snap increment apart. Therefore this problem would occur in every case for users using the default shearwalls settings.
