TODO / KNOWN bugs

• {Installer} Link to changeLog added to yak manifest
• Sometimes the sub-layers are not created properly under “Beam Calculation” layer which causes bugs
• Undo a beam creation deletes its attached nodes
• {RBT_Export} Sometimes axis are messed up when exporting to steel v3
• Hard coded tolerance values are causing issues when the document is not in mm

Won’t fix

• When a node is duplicated with rhino’s copy command, the new node will have the same label as the original.
• Annotations’ font height is ignored in RH5

[1.4.0] - 2021-04-22

Changed

• {RBT Panel} “LabelAngle” control removed (not needed anymore) - Custom NumericUpDown will be used instead.
• {User doc} Beam’s local axes definitions detailed in userdoc
• {TomKod} Internal module “RhinoFunctions” reorganized

Added

• {RBT Panel} Possibility to add a negative angle to a beam (The positive equivalent angle will be stored)
• {RBT Panel} Tooltips
• {License} Tooltips in license activation form
• {RBT_Export} Nodes constraints for RDM7 export (Limited to RDM6-7 capabilities / See UserDoc)
• Rhino Undo feature for ReverseBeams() & CreateRBTLayers() functions

Fixed

• {TomKod} Internal RBT_Common and Common modules reorganized
• {RBT Panel} A scrollbar should be added when the panel size is too small
• {RBT Panel} Text Height and Offset values did not validate until another field was selected (Changed to real-time update)
• {RBT Panel} TextHeight field should range from 2.6 to 30
• {RBT Panel} Color pickers texts
• {RBT Panel} {RH7} Colors buttons didn’t work properly on the settings’ tab because of RH7’s handling of the color’s alpha channel
• {RBT_ImportLines} Straight portions of polylines were split while they remained properly unsplit for polycurves
• {RBT Panel} The “Reverse Beams” button only reversed one beam in case of multiple selections, contrarily to the command
• {RBT Panel} When selecting a beam with an angle set, then two others: the first selected did get the last selected angle value
• {RBT Panel} When selecting a beam with no angle, then another one, then one with an angle, then another without: all of them did get the third’s angle value.
• {RBT Panel} When a beam was deselected, the “Various” value was not refreshed
• RBT’s beam orientation rules did not always match Steel’s, because GetLocalOrientedPlan() was based on Rhino’s default normal plane for lines. The new internal functions GetLocalVectorX(), GetLocalVectorY() & GetLocalVectorZ() will follow exactly Steel’s spec
• Add a 300ms delay to UpdatePanelFrom() to avoid repetitive loops on multi-selection (A lot faster)
• {RBT Panel} Selected Nodes/Beams labels replaced by read-only textboxes for a better display when many items are selected

• {RBT_Export} Beam orientation angles were lost when exporting to steel 4 (Vector was unitized then rounded to 1)
