Corrosion Allowance on Columns

We have released a new version of our software that makes some additions to how corrosion allowances are handled for the columns of column supported roofs. Previously we applied the corrosion allowance to the outside only on pipe columns. For structural columns we applied the corrosion allowance to all surfaces of the beams. We have added a checkbox on the "Rafters & Columns" tab that allows you to specify that the corrosion allowance on pipe columns is to be applied to both the interior and the exterior. For structural columns we added a checkbox that allows you to specify that the corrosion allowance is the "Total" corrosion allowance rather than per surface. We also now note this on the "Design" page of the printout.
