From all of the Enduroframe team I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2019!

Our office will be closed from 21st December and our first day back will be 7th January but will be contactable in case of emergency for any business that is operating over this period.

It's that time of the year again and we've decided to celebrate by detailing a new and improved Christmas tree and stacking enhancements under its steel frame span!

Do you like our Christmas tree? Download the job here.

In this release we focused on providing numerous enhancements to improve your overall experience using the software including:

• Unifying the bracing menus so you can quickly update the total bracing capacity of your walls.
• Addition of Wall tie-downs for wall other.
• Wall frame diagrammatics that allow you to see all the walls in your job at a glance.
• Improved text readability for design result summary text in the Truss editor.
• Improved truss moving logic to allow trusses to maintain edits when moved by distance or zero distance.
• New beam options.

Go to Options >> System Checks >> Check for Updates to download and install the latest version!

Brace yourselves!

We've saved you a heap of time and additional clicking by combining the strap, panel, and K-bracing menus into one convenient menu.

Even better, we've added a button that allows you to immediately update the bracing capacity of the wall after making bracing changes.
 

See Editing bracing.
 

Masonry wall detailers rejoice!

We've updated the wall editor to support tie-downs for Wall other walls used in masonry construction.

Like other tie-downs, they are included in the BOM.xml data, populated into the Materials Usage Markup Report, and displayed on layout sheets.

See:

• Wall properties
• Inserting tie-downs for wall other walls.
   

Getting an overview of the wall panels you need to assemble is important because it helps you get a picture of the job and ensure all parts are onsite.

That's why we've made it easy for you to get an overview of all the wall panels in your job with the inclusion of new wall framing diagrammatic sheets that display smaller versions of all the wall panels in your job.

See what is possible at this link.
 

We've improved the readability of truss design check information in the Truss editor by:

• positioning the design result information higher up in the window
• sharpening the text used to display the failed percentages for truss connections.

Additionally, we've included the precamber value in the design check result, so you can view and resolve precamber right in the Truss editor.

For information about performing truss design checks, see Editing trusses using the Truss editor.
