Version 1.7.9 - 01.05.2021
- Enabled blocking within the shearwall module.
The blocking module algorithm for shearwalls was a bit more of hassle than I had hoped but after about 16 hours of scratching my head I managed to cobble it together. I'm fairly happy and confident with the results but I am sure there will be a few cases where it may need further refinement. The true debugging process really only starts now as I hand it over to the customer to use in real design situations.
I've beaten the Shearwall "horse" for about a week now (Dec. 27th - Jan. 5th), I do have more engineering work that can be done but I think I will probably give it a rest for a while and move on to other hot items within the Truss plugin.
If you have additional items that you would like to see added to this module please feel free to send me an email. I am much more likely to address follow up items when the programming is still fresh on my mind. A month from now it will take more effort to dig back into the shearwall module and add or improve existing features.
