Display Options
• Enhanced to give the user more options
Status Display
• Transparency slide bar has been added to adjust
the level of transparency.
• Material type has been added.
• Member setback options, load types, and many
others added.
• New conditions added
– Group member status
– Hole status
– Weld status
Selection using Status Display
• Selection Filter – By Status Display
• Selection can be refined by properties found in Status
Display
• Items that can be selected:
– Members
– Connection Components
– Member Ends
– Holes
– Bolts
– Welds
Selection Lists
• You can now load a status display inside of a

you are in.
• Dimensions will remain until you delete them, or erase
all.
• Dimensions Can be saved for a later time as well.
Dimension Clearance
• Will find the dimension that is the closest
between two materials selected
Hide Selected/Unselected
• You can now hide specific members, hide the
unselected members, and then show the members
again in the model
Copy to Clipboard
• You can now copy members between 2 jobs
using the copy to clipboard command.
• Copy to the clipboard will create a temp job
behind the scenes where those members are
being stored
• Once you open the new job, you can “paste
from clipboard”
Void Space Cylinder/Layout
• This is like cut layout but it will store your
points and they are editable.
• Voids can be moved, as material or member,
and can be deleted.
Extruded Profile Member
• Allows a user to draw a profile/shape that they
wish to extrude on the screen as a member or
material
Components
• Base/Cap Plate stiffeners
– Works on wide flange, pipe, or tubes.
Components
• Beam Flange to Flange Connection
– Can now connect flange to flange by running a
component.
Components
• Column Stiffener - Column
– Can add stiffeners to columns by even spacing,
picking points, or fixed spacing
Components
• Column Stiffener at Beam
– Can add stiffeners to columns by selecting the beam
framing into the column
Components
• Void space cylinder
• Void space layout
Components
• Web Penetration with Stiffeners
• Select the center of the opening on the x axis of the beam
• Round or rectangular
• Vertical and/or horizontal stiffeners
Components
• Reduced Beam Section
– Now uses void material for the cuts
Components
• Riser Closure Plate
EZ Beam Release
• Add holes for the E-Z Beam Release erection
tool.
Dimension Members
• For each selected member, it adds a dimension
between its exact points.
Connections
• Improved 2 and 3 point brace geometry on
vertical braces
Connections
• Improved brace geometry on horizontal bracing
as well.
Connections
• Seismic:
– Removed the option to turn off horizontal and
vertical brace gross capacity checks in Design
Criteria
• These options were left over from the AISC 1st edition of
the Seismic Manual.
– Options for SCBF or OCBF for vertical brace gusset
design
• Special Concentrically Braced Frame
• Ordinary Concentrically Brace Frame
Connections
• Now there is an option to only distribute a % of
the UFM (uniform force method) vertical load
from the beam to the gusset connection for
vertical braces connecting to a beam/column
interface
Connections
• Fully Welded Moment
– This will automatically set the moment to Welded
– This will provide proper end preps and welds
Connections
• Inner Flange Plates
– On a splice bolted moment connection you can now
include inner flange plates.
