Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in WoodWorks Shearwalls for version 10.3 and may not reflect current behavior.

1. Update of Inputs Related to Hold-downs (Bug 2825)

   Starting with version 10.2, making changes to the Hold-down, Double-bracket, Apply to openings, Number of end studs#, and Hold-down configuration options in wall input view had no effect. The program merely reverted to the previously selected value. This has been corrected.

2. Wall Framing and Hold-down Behaviour on Multiple Selection (Bug 2816)

   When multiple walls with varying properties are selected, none of the fields on the Framing or Hold-down sections of Wall Input View were set be blank to signify an indeterminate selection. This does not currently happen for any field in the Framing or Hold-down sections in Wall Input View, instead showing the value of the most recently-selected wall. This is purely a display issue; the actual properties of each wall are correctly maintained.

3. Reversion of Material Changes after Wall Type Change (Bug 2816)

   In Wall Input View, after making any changes in the Materials, Framing, and/or Hold-downs groups and then changing the Wall Type without first exiting and entering the the dialog, the recently-made changes were reverted to what they had been before the change. This has been corrected and all changes to the wall materials persist after the type is changed. .

4. Persistence of Nail Size after Change for Multiple Selection (Bug 624)

   Starting with version 9.1 of the software, if you selected multiple walls and different wall materials for each one, then changed the material type, and then selected a nail size, the nail size selection did not persist and reverted to what it was before you selected the members and changed the size. This has been corrected

5. Enabling of Double-Bracket Boxes in Openings View (Bug 2813)

   In openings view, if no wall is selected, all inputs were greyed out except for the two double-bracket checkboxes at the bottom. With no wall selected, or with a wall with no openings selected, clicking on one of these the double bracket checkboxes caused a crash. These controls are now disabled when no walls are selected, and will not cause a problem when clicked.

6. Editable Ply and Panel Marking Input Box (Bug 2807)

   Starting with version 9, the fields for that are used for Plywood plies and span rating are editable, they it should be non-editable selection lists Typing data into these boxes did not cause a problem; the program simply ignored them and used the default for the designed thickness.
