billgore Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Anybody got suggestions on how to model a large steel open web roof truss? Quote Link to comment
Jeffrey W Ouellette Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 The Framing Member tool (Architect and Designer) does this. Quote Link to comment
billgore Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 I see how it makes floor truss but not a pitched roof truss Quote Link to comment
Jeffrey W Ouellette Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Ahh, pitched chord trusses. Gotta model them by hand, I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Vectorworks should have the tools to make steel and timber roof trusses, in fact we should really have a roof framer that makes them for you. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 the frustration is that John Greaney made a truss tool that is at VectorDepot (http://www.vectordepot.com/older_plug-ins.html) for Vectorworks 10.5. that is several versions ago and we still have to model these objects by hand.
