11/24/03 Stlbm, FLATLAND's steel beam function, is modified to include a list of recently used sizes in the dialog box.

Users with installations dating prior to this listing will need to go to File pulldown menu and click "Configure Flatland".  The renamed pattern should be appended to the Acad.pat.
4/10/03 Build 041003 posted.

3/31/03 Mdeck, FLATLAND's metal decking command, gets a complete make over.
3/30/03 SuperWall, FLATLAND's new wall function, is equipped with a new system of toggled dialog box layouts.  This cleaner interface is easier to use because there are fewer "grayed out" items.  This also clears space for future development of section views from this interface.
