Layher diagonals

[Iainy1961]

I'm having a problem placing diagonal braces into my scaff structure. Can't seem to angle them to fit. What am I doing that I shouldn't be or what aren't I doing?   Thanks, Iain

Can you post a file or a screenshot? Hard to help without more info about how you are working

I don't even have access to Layher scaffolding libraries (VW Arch)

I think they are VW entertain only (?)

I speculate only,

but are these 3D Symbols with 2D parts in it - so you can't rotate them

beside around Z axis ?

Yes if I'm looking at the right thing @zoomer is correct, they are Hybrid Symbols + so are designed to be used as they are + only rotated in plan. But they come in a massive range of different widths/heights/angles so is there not one there you can use off the shelf?

@Tom W Thanks guys, yes, I thought this might be the case, there are indeed masses of them and I am not a staging guy, so I guess I will have to go through each one. Thanks again

I think you just need to choose the width of diagonal that corresponds with the ledgers/decks you're using i.e. there are decks + ledgers which are 0.73, 1.09, 1.29, 1.40, etc long + there are diagonals the same width. Height-wise it's all divisions of 0.50.
