  1. I think its time for the community of minds. In the picture bellow (front view) the LD want to pitch the ends of the truss downward for an added effect. Right now Braceworks sees this as 3 different systems but it need to be one system since they will be connected in real life. When I attempt to put a hinge or custom angle piece of truss in I can only get it to bend on the X,Y axis. Has anyone been able to hinge truss on the X axis and get it to calculate properly? Also this is HUD truss so I can't get the angle right in Top/Plan then rotate into the correct position.
  2. Hallo Forum users. Does anyone know why i can't calculate this small cantalever? Weight wise should it not be a problem. Any idea's? Greetings Martijn. Braceworks error.vwx
  3. I have a worksheet with database rows showing areas and occupant load factors from space objects. I would like to do a calculation of the occupant load based on the values of these two fields (area/occupant load factor). I understand that calculations in database fields may only be possible using scripting. Does anyone know how this might be accomplished? I've seen a file with a scripted calculation using one parameter, but not two, although I cannot seem to be able to make one parameter work.
  4. We are often tasked with quantifying elements in our drawings and dividing these quantities up along different sections of the design. To provide an example, the following screenshot shows an excel spreadsheet being used to track quantities across 9 medians in this case. Each row is a separate line item that we need to provide quantities for and each column to the right, a separate median. Also note that each row is potentially a different unit. It would be great if Vectorworks' worksheets had the capability to do something similar using database headers. I know it is possible by writing individual formulas in cells of a spreadsheet, but that gets cumbersome and potentially creates errors as classes modify and things shift throughout a project. Its a lot to keep track of. I also know that this could be managed by a record with separate fields for each of the medians' quantities, but again, that would have to updated each time the drawing shape changes since there is no way to link a shapes properties (i.e. area, volume, length, etc.) to a record value. We can easily separate quantities using design layers, polygon location references, records, etc, so what I am imagining is a general database header formula...L='Demo' in this example. Then in columns I could use the =C formula to summarize rows based on classes (essentially the line items from the example) above, Use the formula =AREA(LOC='MEDIAN 1'), =AREA(LOC='MEDIAN 2'), =AREA(LOC='MEDIAN 3'), etc. for all of the columns calculating quantities. I don't really have a great way of separating the units (=area, =length, =volume, etc.) though, so I would have to create a database header for each different quantity (which can screw up the order)
