Concept Mode Operation

1. Dead Load Factor for Concept Mode Files from a Previous Versions (Bug 2658)

   When a concept mode file from a certain older version of Sizer, we are not sure which, was opened with version 9.x, a dead load factor of zero was registered so that all dead loads were ignored. This has been corrected.

2. Concept Mode Crash For Triangular Joist Area With No Dead Loads (Bug 2659)

   Triangular joist areas in concept mode without any dead loads, and for which self-weight is set to Manual input , were causing Sizer to crash when designing or exporting a member that is below the triangular joist area in the building.

3. Transfer of Partly Uplift and Partly Gravity Reactions from Joist Area to Supporting Member (Bug 2660)

   When a member supports a joist area such that one end of the transferred reaction is positive (gravity) and the other end of the load is negative (uplift), and the reaction load does not start at the beginning of the supporting member, the two triangular loads created (positive and negative) were not positioned correctly. This has been corrected.

4. Transfer of Loads from Column Close to Intersection of Beams (Bug 2661)

   When a column is close to the intersection of two beams, one of which supports the column, sometimes the program identified the other beam as the support. This has been corrected.
