Haydenovative Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Hey Team, We are in the process of creating libraries of our truss. I have taken what I could from the Entertainment Libraries but we require some Tri Truss point up and down to measurements not found in the libraries. I have stripped the 2D elements from the existing symbols as rotating hybrid objects doesn't work, so just leaving the generic solid behind. Id like to be able to make the pieces I require using the Straight Truss tool but then converting the 3D Geometry to a generic solid and removing any 2D Portion. However its not that simple as once I've created the Truss the convert to generic solid option doesn't do anything. Has anyone got a workaround for this? Alternatively has any one got ALE 350mm Tri as generic solids already? Edited August 12, 2015 by Haydenovative Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Select the truss while you're in a 3d view and ungroup it (if you do it in a 2d view you'll get a collection of 2d rectangles). It will convert to the parts making up its 3d geometry. If you want to make it into a single solid use Add Solids. At that point you could convert it to a generic solid if you want to.
