Problem Description
Program generated lateral loads applied to diaphragms at the top story should be lumped to the story below when the diaphragm is defined as "Flexible/None" and the diaphragm is connected to gravity members only (no frame members). This was not done by the program and the generated lateral loads on the top level diaphragm were lost.
Solution
Fixed in v15.04.00.
