- A bug was fixed that did not export concentrated dead loads to PT v8. - The pan and zoom operations are improved in speed. Zooming now occurs mouse-centric as opposed to be window-centric. - The program was modified to allow the user to select levels, structural components, loads and load cases when importing a structure from a third party program into ADAPT-Builder. - The program was modified to allow the user to import geometry as well as gravity and lateral loads from ETABS using only one input file. This file is created with our ADAPT Integration Console which combines two ETABS output files. - Reinforcement information can now be exported to a text file from ADAPT-Floor Pro. The same reinforcement information can now be imported from a generic ADAPT file into ADAPT-Builder. - The program was modified to include the definition of boundary conditions for far ends of bottom supports in the Analysis/Design Options when dealing with lateral loads. - The program was modified to include a tabular report with design section moment capacities for both, automatically and manually generated design sections. For manual design sections, the moment capacities are included in the property box. - The program was modified to display cross section properties for manual design sections on their property boxes. - A bug was fixed that didn't allow the program to pass beyond 22% of progress when calculating the cracked deflection. - A bug was fixed that in some cases did not import all area loads from generic ADAPT files into ADAPT-Builder. - The program was modified to include top and bottom story heights in the generic ADAPT file. - The redundancy of the message "Support lines intersect each other" is eliminated. - The program was modified to display the amount of distributed bars in the rebar drawing. - The building code label "IBC 2003" was changed to "IBC 2006". - The program was modified to generate an additional design section through the wall at the wall end when generating design sections automatically. - A bug was fixed that did not correctly export the concrete strength at stressing (f'ci) from ADAPT-Builder to ADAPT-PT v8. - A bug was fixed that did not discretize correctly line loads with a z-offset. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version: Builder Ex Build: 3.1. build 1 Generated on: 24-July-2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - A bug was fixed that wrongly calculated the new location of a copied point load. - The program was modified to allow the user to define in the program's initialization file to which version of ADAPT-PT this program should export its data. The user can specify either PT v7.00 or v8.00 as default PT version. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version: Builder Ex Build: 3.10.0 Generated on: 29-June-2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - The current "Snap to Intersection" tool was modified to snap to the "Apparent Intersection" This is the intersection displayed on computer screen. - Insertion of a new vertex is modified to always fall next to the vertex picked by user. - The limitation on the maximum number forces that the lateral load module can import was eliminated. - The scaling feature of the program was modified to scale “circles” using the larger of the scale factors specified for X and Y directions. - A bug that resulted in crashing of the computer, when loading files generated by older versions of the program was fixed.

- Limitation on the user defined allowable stresses for the Indian code was removed. - The data input to the program was modified to display, as default, cube or cylinder strength according to the building code selected by the user. - The program was modified to recognize the lateral loads that are imported from third party programs and do not have their point of action on walls and columns. The program transfers these to the slab level and considers them in its analysis. - The program was modified to retain the user defined reinforcement as “base reinforcement”. - A bug associated with the loss of f'ci value at time of saving the program was fixed. - A bug in the calculation of tendon control points at nested slab regions and slab edges was corrected. - The program was enhanced to enable the user to selectively assign the reinforcement calculated by the program to “base reinforcement”. Such reinforcement will not be erased and will be used by the program in re-calculation of required reinforcement. - Effort.exe, the module for import of lateral analysis from ETABS was modified to have its imported values written in the “generic data file” of Builder platform. This included changes in the format as well as the location of the imported information. - For the lateral option of the program, a feature was added whereby users can "transform” the point of application of applied loads to new locations and request the program to automatically adjust the values of the transformed actions to retain their static equivalency. - A bug associated with erasing the support lines was fixed. - The program was modified to report point loads in Floor-Pro as “single” loads, when exported to ADAPT-PT. In the former version, these were each split in two. - The program was modified to have the column numbers in its reports to consistently match that of the user generated model. - A mis-match between the rebar libraries and the user selected building code was fixed. - The program was modified to recognize and act upon user entry for “redistribution” of moments. - The treatment of “Selfweight, Dead load and Live load” among the programs PT7, PT8 and Builder was made consistent. - Two new tendon shapes were added to the program’s tendon shapes library. - The “Modify Item’s Property” feature of the program was enhanced to include multiple tendon profiles. - The format of data entry for the allowable stresses in Indian Code was changed to match the text of the code. - A bug related to reporting the value of concrete weight from Builder to ADAPT-PT was fixed.
