Truss defaulting to 3D symbol in plan view in Spotlight

[symo]

Hi All

 

Im experiencing an issue when I insert truss objects when I switch between Top/Plan view an Isometric view when inserting the truss. This happened in a blank template and using truss symbols from the Vectorworks libraries.

 

I first insert an F34 3m truss section in the Top/Plan view and it shows as expected:

 

 

Then I switch to an isometric view to continue inserting the truss:

 

 

Then I switch back to the Top/Plan view and the truss inserted in an isometric view only shows as a 3D symbol:

 

 

When I add more truss symbols in the Top/Plan view, I get a mix of 2D and 3D symbols:

 

 

The obvious work-around is to select Draw 3D Only in the OIP and this shows everything as a 3D symbol but this means I cant show the truss labels. It seems that something is horribly broken with the truss tool. 

 

Cheers

Is it every type of truss or just a certain type?

Hi @markdd I tried with a few different truss symbols and it happened with all of them.

I've just been testing this and can verify there is definetly something wrong.
It's only happening when you insert the second section of truss in a 3D view, so if you draw everything in 2D top/plan then it will work correctly.
I'll get a bug report opened

Many thanks Jesse. Do you know if this issue has carried-over into V2024?

@symo

as far as I can tell its working correctly in 2024

Brilliant. A great reason to upgrade.
