Output and Drawings

1. Concentrated Beam Load Width Units in Text Output (Bug 2240)

   For beams, the text output shows the tributary width of a load in feet or m. For concentrated loads, the number displayed is actually inches.

   The program now shows an inch symbol (") or "mm" after the concentrated load width to differentiate it from area loads that may also be on the beam.

2. Self-weight Note and Self-weight in Loads Table (Change 80)

   The line about self weight has been removed from the material description, and self weight appears as a load in the loads table instead.  The message was sometimes misinterpreted.

3. Eccentric Loads Output (Change 71)

   The eccentricity reported in the loads output table was outputting the wrong value when imperial units were selected

4. Units in Column Load Diagram (Change 82)

   In the column load diagram, the units were not displayed, even though they are displayed in the beam diagram. In particular, axial UDLs did not indicate they are in plf or kN/m, even though the corresponding joist loads are in pounds. The program now shows plf or kN/m by those loads, and beside the scale at the bottom of the diagram.

5. Metric Units in Deflection Diagram (Change 94)*

   When metric units were selected, the program was showing the value of deflection in inches, yet labelling them as mm. Thus deflections of 12 mm would show up as 0.5.

6. Metric Units in Deflection Diagram (Change 95)*

   Load locations in printed column diagrams were showing up in inches, rather than feet and inches.

7. Sloped Beam Drawing (Change 78)
   1. Sloped member drawing for slightly sloped members no longer draws in the wrong direction.
