åge-marius Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 hi, what is the difference between roof force and workload? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted October 31, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 31, 2022 Hi @åge-marius This Data tag is not correctly set up, Roof force should be the total force acting on the rigging point including the hoists own weight and should be in kN In 2023 it should be using the parameter 'High Hook force - #ReactionForce#', Workload should be the total weight acting on the hoist not including its own weight in Kg in this case it is the total weight acting on the rigging point It should be using the parameter 'Hook weight Equivalent - #ReactionForceWeight_formated#' I'll get a bug report in to have it fixed, Quote Link to comment
spries Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The other question is, why is a "roof force" or any other force labeled in kg and not in N or kN? Quote Link to comment

aheininen Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Hey Jim! Nice looking document you have in there. It explains in these details very well in simple way. Is there more this kind of documents available to users where object parameters are presented in this clear way? Quote Link to comment
Brent.A Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Hey Jim, Indeed that document is awesome. I would ravenously consume any additional documentation to help me level up with my Braceworks knowledge. Is there an online resource or location you can direct us towards? Quote Link to comment
