Released August 18, 2011 for Design Office 9, Service Release 1b
If a wall was selected, then an action is performed that caused the wall to become de-selected such as moving back to Structure view, or extending walls upwards then the program would crash the next time you entered wall input view. Simply deselecting the wall within wall input view did not cause the problem. Note that if you had made changes to the file, and want to continue with one of these operations without losing the changes, it was possible to save the file, close it, and re-open the file without problems. This problem has now been corrected.
The error message that used to appear when the program had problems opening or reading a standard wall file has been replaced with measures to rectify the situation. If the program cannot read it because it is from an older version or is corrupt, it creates a new one from default standard walls and replaces the old or corrupt file.
If the file cannot be opened because of file permission issues, such as a read only designation or low user privileges, the program creates a set of default standard walls that are stored in memory to be used for the duration of the Shearwalls session.
The program informs you via a message if one of these things is happening.
If there are no components and cladding wind loads on a structure the fabrication and in-service moisture content was not output in the Design Settings output table. However, deflection analysis now uses moisture content to determine shrinkage when calculating the hold-down portion of deflection, so these fields are now output when deflection analysis is performed as well.
