@JCodgell I'm not understand everything what you say. I'm relative new in Vectorworks after have WYG over 20 years... Now I created a new blank document from Spotlight Metric tmp. select from Vectorworks library the Prolyte H40V-300 truss. placed on the plot. to connect the second truss I can connect only 1 side of the truss. finish truss tool, select this truss, right click and choose "Customize truss symbol Data" then arrive to truss Properties - Is this the Braceworks Data? so than in the Straight Truss tab looks like everything correct but doesn't. I click to "change cross section" inside Cross section Data, come up the pop up window. the data shows everything fine. Prolyte H40V details. press OK. than Press OK on the truss properties. than my symbol work!!! if I check in ISO view I see the cross on both end which was empty before. doing the same on most H40V items. I think except H40V-250 what I found on this test. The Box corner is different because when I opened this Truss Properties on the same way under the custom geometry all x,y,z data is 0 so here I must to change the details to than press OK. than the symbol work. if I use my metric meter template -was created a standard metric template of VW just changed the units than saved for temp.-, when I access the same truss property windows (hopefully Braceworks) the H40V-300 showing at length 3000. I must put behind the "mm" measure than change and showing 3 instead of earlier 3000. I attached my test file created from Spotlight Metric include trusses. the 1m and 1.5 meter section was not modified so doesn't worked. Fixture test.vwx I also attached a new test for you without any editing. you can see just the 2.5m section able to connect normally on both side you also can see on the cube that cross data also missing. Regarding with the circle I created as you wrote with the circle truss tools than created a symbol than convert to truss, than setup circle truss properties. it look good but doesntVW support test.vwx attached this test include my circle..thanks for your help!

@JustinVH I have similar issue. I started a metric drawing in meter but most of the truss properties. mostly use prolyte. H30V work fine, H40V showing the good dimensions but the length is 3000m instead of 3m and the cross section data empty. similar with Litec QX, QH... So before I start to draw place a new symbol then right click-Customize Truss Symbol Data then modify the truss properties. After I finished the main grid (adopt all Symbol) I started to work side trusses. Main grid include over 300 truss in ONE system with 60 cubes and least with 4 ATT attachment. so it is big. after I finished with side trusses and other structures on different layer going back again and use H40V but forgot all properties. like H40 Block forgot not only the cross section data, forgot all 6 side parameters. Now I modified again the symbol's properties, but drop my main grid truss system. Just let me know what can I do because it is really frustrated. I also have problem to configuring some custom truss. Specially a circle. it looks like all fine but the connection is away from the truss section. it is 2021 Spotlight w Braceworks.

Hoist Data The hoist data is invisible in any view. the background is black and I cannot change. any idea where can I set up this background to see the information?
