Distributed Weight on Straight Truss Tool

[ReMatsu]

Hi vectorworks people,

 

Can you guys check something for me, please? I can`t add distributed weight on a straight truss tool object, so it does not add weight when converting to hanging position.

 

To recreate the problem:

Open a a new blank document, add a straight truss tool object, and try to add distributed weight via OIP. It goes back to zero.

 

Edit: I`m using VW2023 SP2 on windows 10.

 

Thanks,

I just tried to reproduce this and as far as I can tell it is working correctly,
I used 2023 sp2 on a win 10 laptop

can you post a sample file?

Sure, here it is. Thanks!

I have found that Distributed weight can be assigned to a Straight Truss object only at insertion from the Tool Preferences dialog or by double clicking the Tool button. Therafter the Distributed weight of a Straight Truss object cannot be altered.

 

I do not know whether this is working as designed or if this is a bug.

Thanks for this work around! I think it`s a bug because it used to work on 22.

 

Thanks again!
