zuken86 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Has anyone try to create custom structure shapes to expand the Vectorworks' Structure shapes library? Thanks, Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 It works fine. Make a 2D only symbol (ie. a 2D Screen Plane shape) of the required member making sure its insertion point is set to the default centre of the object. Note - your 2D line work must also not be grouped. Quote Link to comment
zuken86 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 I created a custom 2D symbol like you said. I then created a column and picked select structure shape to pick my custom shape but it said "Invalid Selection". What did I do wrong? Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 It does work in Vw 2013. Apologies for not noticing that you are using Vw 2012 where it doesn't work. Quote Link to comment
Harry Streuli Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I've made a symbol in the structural shape library, but also get the 'Invalid Selection' error box, as zuken86 says. Using VW2014... The structural shape selection dialog box suggests I can choose series and size, perhaps why I can's chose a custom shape? Quote Link to comment
mac@stairworks Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Maybe suggest a video tutorial on this subject. Quote Link to comment
