Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in WoodWorks Shearwalls for version 9.3 and may not reflect current behavior.

1. Distribution Method for Seismic Direct Shear Forces (Bug 2632)

   Starting with version 9.2, the Distribution Method control in the Load Create and Load Edit dialog boxes was disabled and showing Both when entering or editing manually entered seismic direct shear forces. This has been corrected and you can again distinguish between rigid and flexible distribution methods when adding a direct shearline force.

2. Standard Wall Relative Rigidity (Bug 2522)

   The "Relative Rigidity" input for Standard walls was not reflected in the individual walls’ relative rigidity. The program now considers relative rigidity field when comparing walls to see if they match standard walls.

3. Bolt Diameter Input in Hold-down Database for Decimal Imperial Formatting (Bug 2517)

   When the Thickness Imperial formatting setting is set to Decimal, then the list of bolt shaft diameters in the hold-down database input shows nonsensical values like “1/1”. If you select one of these, or attempt to enter a value like .45, the program converted it to 0, 1, or a nonsense value the next time the box is opened. This has been corrected.

4. Hold-down Database Message (Change 116)

   The message indicating that one hold-down had to be completed before another selection had a grammar error.

5. Apply Load Change Message (Change 119)

   After first entering the Load Input view, changing loads prompted you to apply changes when none had been made. This has been corrected

6. Seismic Load Generation Input Typos (Change 121)

   The spelling of Self-weights has been corrected from Self Weights. The “Generate building masses first…" section title has been extended to fit the ellipses.

7. Arrange Icons Menu Item (Change 129)

   The Arrange Icons menu item was removed from the Windows menu as it was obsolete and had no function.
