Results Output and Diagrams
  1. Built-up Beam Dimensions for Custom Beam Sizes (Bug 2580)

    For built-up custom sections, including those with custom depths, the width shown in the material specification of the design check output was not being adjusted for the number of plies correctly. Instead of reporting e.g. 1.5" x 16", 5 ply (7.5" x 16") both the singly ply width and the total width were mistakenly multiplied by number of plys giving: 7.5" x 16", 5 ply (37.5" x 16") This was also happening for metric units, and has been corrected.

  2. Self-weight Note in Analysis Diagram (Bug 2604)

    At the top of the Analysis Diagrams, for known sections, the program indicated self-weight is included even you have set it for manual input of self weight. This line has been removed for manual input of self-weight.

  3. Effect of Lateral Support in Beam Drawing (Bug 2528)

    The drawing of the lateral support material on the top of the beam was not taken into account when positioning dimensioning lines and loads above the member, so these were partly obscured. This has been corrected.

  4. Positioning of Span Identifiers in Diagram for Negative Slope Beams (Bug 2530)

    When beams have a negative slope, the words Clear, Full, and Design that identify the span types appeared in random locations, often over top of other drawing elements, rather than in a neat column at the left of the beam as for positive slopes. This has been corrected.

  5. Trailing Zeroes in Length and Pitch Data (Changes 110 and 113)

    The length of spans, total length of member, Ke factors, and unsupported lengths appearing in the material output that are whole numbers now show just one zero rather than several trailing zeroes. When the pitch is a whole number, it does no longer shows zeroes, e.g 4/12 instead of 4.0/12.0
