Worksheet Help - PIOs

[David Ormsby]

One of the draw backs to using the truss tool is the trusses don't show up in a regular Symbol count worksheet.

Is there a way to get a worksheet give this info? i.e. I'd like to see 1 truss at 50', 1 truss at 75' etc.

A bonus would be 1 truss 12"x12" at 50'....

Thanks

You can convert the truss into a symbol. The truss will be converted by default into a symbol when you convert the truss to a lighting position, it will just be named the same as the lighting position.

When you run the worksheet reports just choose "in object".

The other option is to add a line to look for length of the truss.

In a database row

=('Straight Truss'.LineLength)/12

Thanks for the help!

I tried working with this for a while, and I couldn't quite get it;

If I set the criteria to count type=symbol, and I convert the truss to a symbol (position object), I do get the the name of the truss, but the length string just reads 0.

How ever, if I set the critereia to type=PIO, I get the truss length but not the name...

I'm closer, just not there yet.
