Question:
I have modeled a simply supported beam with several members. Why are the signs of the shear force diagram partially incorrect?

Answer:
There is very likely no uniform member orientation; see Image 01.

As soon as the member orientation is uniform (right-click on the member → "Reverse Member Orientation"), the signs of the shear force diagram also match; see Image 02.
