Floor layout

• The functionality of the User defined tab has been improved so that you can now define the name of the tab and, if needed, also define more than one User defined tab each with its own name. Previously, there was only one tab page available and the tab name was hardcoded.

  Note that as a result of this improvement, the name of the tab defined in an existing floorlayout.objects.inp file is now visible in the Floor layout dialog box. Previously, it was always overridden by the hardcoded default User defined, even if you changed the name in the file.

The way you pick the input points when creating the component has been changed. Previously, you had to pick points that had been created as model objects. Now you can pick the brace end positions using any model points.

Wraparound gusset (58), Wraparound gusset cross (60) , Gusseted cross (62)

You can now set the gusset plate as the main part for the bolts that connect the gusset plate to the main part or the last secondary part by setting the bolt type to Workshop.

Wraparound gusset (58), Wrapped cross (61), Gusseted cross (62), Corner gusset (63)
