Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in WoodWorks Shearwalls for version 10.21 and may not reflect current behavior.
Released February 5, 2014 with Design Office 10, Service Release 2a
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.
When in the standard wall input view, if multiple standard walls have the exact same materials and framing inputs, then sometimes the Design as Group checkbox and the Standard Wall dropdown list were showing the values for one of the other identical standard walls instead of the selected standard wall.
For network installations, the file that stores the standard walls was previously located on each local client machine. The standard walls file is now located on the network server in the same location as the materials and hold-down databases. This was needed now that the standard wall groups are used for design grouping.
