SamIWas Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 After many years, I am finally moving towards using the actual truss tool instead of just the straight truss tool. I decided to make some of my own generic truss symbols devoid of manufacturer names and all that. They work just fine, snap as expected, etc. But, the info provided in the OIP does not come in as expected. When I first added a piece of the truss to my test drawing, a pop-up came up asking for the "Type". Just as a test, I entered "Overhead". Now, I cannot seem to change that in any way. that truss symbol always inserts with type "Overhead", and I cannot figure out how to change that. My 10' section comes in with the NAME field as 12"x10', while my 8' comes in with Truss 12"x8' Silver, even though all their records have matching entries. Is there some underlying invisible record applied to these symbols that is not editable? I cannot seem to change this behavior by editing the Truss Record or the EntEquipUniversal record.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee JustinVH Posted August 5 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 5 After you insert the truss into the drawing right click on it and choose 'Customize Truss Symbol Data'. That will bring up the Truss Properties and the invisible record that you speak of. 1 Quote Link to comment
