Peter Telleman Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Hi, I'm trying to put a truss underneath another truss with the connect tool. But I want the truss to be parallel with the truss above. The tool itself does what it's suppose to do, but when I then run braceworks, it tells me the system is not properly supported. Am I doing something wrong, or is it just not possible to stack trusses parallel to eachother? best regards, Peterparallel stack.vwx Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Scott C. Parker Posted May 6 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 6 Hi Peter, I was intrigued by this and played around for a while. Apparently, truss crosses can only have one location where the truss meets in Vectorworks 2024. When I changed the tool to insert a drop instead of a truss cross, it worked once I had a proper offset. I had to change the minimum length for the down leg in the bridle preferences to one mm before using the tool. Here's a video I made to explain the process to our programmers. You can skip to after 2:30 to see success. insertdropparalelltruss.mp4 I'm submitting a request to allow multiple trust crosses so that the lower truss does not need to shift down at all. However, we would expect it to shift to account for the spacing of the coupling device. 2 Quote Link to comment
Peter Telleman Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 I'll look into this, thanks so much for taking the time with it and submitting a request ! Quote Link to comment
Peter Telleman Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 @Pat Stanford @Sebas htc @jcogdell I'm revisiting this post with an added challenge 🙂 I've made Prolyte tube parts, to make ladders. Now I'm trying to hang those under a truss in a similar way you explained above. I'm getting all kinds of errors, and I don't know what causes them. My hunch is of course that I made mistakes making the single tube parts. Is it possible for you to take a quick look and steer me in the right direction? What would be even better is if VW would have these single tube parts in their library, I can only find tube parts in Eurotruss 😔 Thanks a lot, Peter Quote Link to comment
