@Peter Telleman I don't have a direct answer other than it's something to do with the modified truss symbols you're using. I played for a while trying to figure out what but I failed. To confirm the calculations would work outright, I built two similar frames using Tomcat and Christie truss. They both calculated as expected. Here's the file I played with. Your custom symbols might not match anymore as I was making edits. Tomcat is grey as we don't have the structural info. The Christie frame is green as we do have the structural info. vertical trussframe.vwx

If you widen the report window, you'll see the lights are not connected to the truss system. Braceworks will only report on items that are fully snapped to the supporting truss system. We have a few videos here that would be helpful to take a look at. https://university.vectorworks.net/course/index.php?mycourses=0&tagfilter[category]=content+category-5-entertainment&tagfilter[type]=0&tagfilter[difficulty]=0&search=braceworks&langfilter[]=0#coursestab Basically, you have placed the lights along the front of the truss, but not actually snapped them to the truss..

Please post a sample file for us to look at. Might be those lights are not attached to the supporting structure.

Please share a file so I can play. What release/build are you working in?

@tragge8 What happens when you place a summary key in a new drawing? The underlaying file you're using was originally built five years ago. Not that this should cause issues, but it does on occasion. Let me know please.

We are hunting a bug and this file helps. For now, I recommend placing a viewport of a summary key in your rigging design layer over the title block area. The Summary key is working as we wish in Design layers. Sorry, no; you can't place viewports inside the title block style. It'll have to sit over the title block on sheet layers for now.

Please post a test file so we can see your settings.

It sounds more like you're looking for an instrument schedule based on each truss. If you create a report and use the Criteria window to limit the worksheet to each truss, you'll get what I think you're looking for.

I'm happy to take a look if you can post a sample file. Adding class to the filter is on our list of fixes we need to do.

I played with your file and changed the number shown below to 10mm and it all worked. It's like a forgiveness setting. 🙂 Keep in mind that it can get you in trouble when two truss systems you don't want to be connected together are within the accuracy limits.

Did you do the delete thing and insert into a design layer process I mentioned? I'm bug hunting and if this process works, it's helpful to know.

Lain, Would you please post a test file so we can follow the steps you mention?

Is this in a sheet layer or design layer? If you started in a sheet layer... Delete all summary keys. Insert a summary key in a design layer. If the text looks like line, adjust the text via the three text formatting buttons. Once placed in the design layer and the text is visible, placing new summary keys in sheet layers should work. Please let me know how this goes. If this doesn't work, please share with me a file. Thanks, Scott

This is what I was going to play with. It should work.

You might have used the page setup or print setup settings in the template file that carried over with the new file.

Hi @Wesley Burrows I've not played with this. Would you please post a test file so we can explore? Thanks, Sc ott

Have you played with using the slice/split tool instead of the aisle tool to separate the seating into separate sections? It might serve you better. Can you share a file for testing? Just the seating layer.

Please post a sample file showing how you used the User Field or a custom record mentioned above. It'll help us explain how to get where you need to be.

How did you build your data tag? It sounds like it might not be associated with the LED screen. I find the easiest way is first to select the object to which you wish to attach the data tag and then use the "create data tag style" command under the tools menu. This makes sure the data tag will be associated with my object. If I created my data tag for a TV, it won't work with an LED screen. With that said, you can use the small triangle of the data tag to "associate" the data tag to the LED screen. Perhaps that will fix the issue. Do you have a sample file you can share? Como você construiu sua etiqueta de dados? Parece que ela pode não estar associada à tela LED. Eu acho que a maneira mais fácil é primeiro selecionar o objeto ao qual você deseja anexar a etiqueta de dados e depois usar o comando "criar estilo de etiqueta de dados" no menu de ferramentas. Isso garante que a etiqueta de dados estará associada ao meu objeto. Se eu criar minha etiqueta de dados para uma TV, ela não funcionará com uma tela LED. Dito isso, você pode usar o pequeno triângulo da etiqueta de dados para "associar" a etiqueta de dados à tela LED. Talvez isso resolva o problema. Você tem um arquivo de exemplo que pode compartilhar?

@Tom Lightbody Could you share a small file for testing please?

I shared this one that might be useful to play with. Though, it's not linked to layer height.

You'll need to turn off Summarize for that column. Then, you'll need to use other columns to force sorting in the order you wish to have the info displayed.

Can you provide a sample file? My test looks sharp.

Hi @Martijn Wingelaar, If you can point us to incorrect symbols and the supporting paperwork from manufacturers, we're all for making needed corrections. These would be counted as bugs and would be added to the list of needed fixes as VW continues to be developed.

@jkirchhofer Thanks for looking into this. We are working on solutions, but the timeline will likely not make either of us happy in the short term.
