ADAPT FLOOR-PRO 1.

50 RELEASE NOTES

Apart from improvement in the smooth operation of the program, the capability of the program has
been enhanced through the addition of several new features.

New Features and Major Improvements:

• Import of lateral forces (wind/seismic) to Floor-Pro either from ETABS solutions, or user
created filters, or manually; lateral forces can be combined with gravity loads for a
comprehensive analysis and design of floor systems;
• Full overhaul of report generation of the program with expanded capability for custom and
detailed reports;
• Extensive editing capability for tendon geometry;
• Mirror imaging;
• Selective scaling;
• Use of “return key” to repeat last operation;
• Improvement in the automatic mesh generation process;
• Improvement in the text of the messages prompted on the computer screen;

New features are each explained in a dedicated write up.
