§ There was an error while defining wire fabrics in element section (circular shape).
§ There was an error while defining bar segments with lap splices when the ends of segments were marked.
§ While importing reinforcement of building elements from Revit Structure there was an error during reinforcement data saving; it caused incorrect drawing generation.
§ Modified elements changed their position in the model during modifications of some parameters, such as diameter of some identical bars.
