Data Input
  1. Input of Partial Area Roof Live Loads (Bug 2698)

    When adding partial area roof live loads, if the tributary width entered was 2' or greater, the program issued a message that the magnitude is restricted to 20 psf, even when it is less than 20 psf, and then assigned a tributary width to the load of 20 feet, even if the width was different than that. These problems have been corrected.

  2. Notch Input Persistence (Bug 2722)

    In the Beam view input the notch depth and notch length reset to zero when you changed from beams to joists, and would reset to zero after a design. This has been corrected.

  3. Bearing at Support End for Walls (Bug 2761)

    The Bearing at support end field in beam view is now enabled for walls. Previously it was always disabled; however, an end joist has KB factor of 1.0, which is conservative compared to the CB factor calculated for other joists. For this reason you should have the ability to specify that the wall is supporting a joist at its end.

  4. Format of Snap Increment Input (Bug 2741)

    A snap increment input as an even number appeared in the View Settings input as e.g. 2-1/1 rather than 3" when the format selected for Imperial units was of the form 3'4-1/2".. This did not affect the operation of the concept mode graphical input.

  5. Update of Creep Factor (Change 141)

    When you reset original settings for Total deflection due to creep factor, if it is wet service conditions, the program now updates to 2.0 rather than 1.5, as per NDS 3.5.2

  6. Update of Creep Factor based on Service Conditions (Bug 2760)

    If you change the service conditions from dry to wet, the program changes the creep factor 2.0 to as per NDS 3.5.2, but

    this was not reflected in the design of the member unless you first entered loads view

    it did not change back to 1.5 if you change from wet to dry.

    These problems have been corrected.

  7. Asterisk on Column Auto Eccentricity (Change 142)

    An asterisk has been added to the column auto eccentricity setting in the design settings, indicating that it is saved to file.
