Import Item Type Values

Currently, we can set default values for item types and then change them once they are drawn into the file. However, if the values that we need to input into the item type are coming from a source outside of ORD, there's no way to import that info...

Expression Math Function Roundup / Ceiling math

It is known that processing slows when using nested IIF statements. In order to simplify the expressions functions for Roundup and Increments for Ceiling.Math with are needed. Roundup function with a precision Roundup(100.03,1) = 100.1 math functi...

Revise Limitation to LEAP/RC-Pier Wind Load Auto Generation Tool
