Spent the last two days adding in some additional code so that the vertical jumps in the shear graph (at point loads and supports) are actually vertical. It was a bit more complicated than I originally bargained on but I think I finally have it figured out:



�The code seems fairly robust but tomorrow I will throw the kitchen sink at it to see if I can find any weaknesses in the algorithm.

I have't been posting much lately but that is because I've had my head buried in the code.  Most of this engineering code is completely new (not my typical plugin stuff) so there is no refactoring old code or any other shortcuts I can take.  Some of the old beam calculator is relevant however since it was so limited in its application I'm kind of on my own with this new calculator.

The vertical jumps now look at lot better. So far it seems pretty solid:
