FLOOR LOAD NOT GENERATING CORRECTLY WITH GROUPING IN CONNECT EDITION, WHERE AS OLDER VERSION OF STAAD PRO V8I SS6 IS TAKING CORRECTLY

Question

Whenever using Grouping for end wall columns for wind loads and applying one-way distribution the loads are taken incorrectly, 
 I have attached the staad model showing the problem with connect edition, also when the same model is opened through an older version of staad pro v8i, SS6 the one-way distribution is showing correctly. 
 For Example, beam 23 in the model should not take any load while applied with one-way distribution, however, GZ direction UDL is also applied. Please advise us on this issue. ENQ212292-AMANA-3D.STD

ENQ212292-AMANA-3D_mod.STD The .std file attached when analyzed throws errors. To investigate model was modified (ENQ212292-AMANA-3D_mod.STD). There is a defect already posted w.r.t floor loads with one-way distribution having towards option ( BUG 487757 ). Our development team is working to fix the issue while as a workaround you can apply the loading component for the floor load as a member load on the members.
