SCParker Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hey Rob, Is there any way for Braceworks subscribers to obtain the needed info without having to wait for service pack releases? Wouldn't it be possible to either open a file that contained updated truss objects? Or, simply enter the numbers into the cross section info box? Thanks, Scott 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Rob Books Posted March 27, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 27, 2018 you can set up a custom cross section, but at this time they do not export to other files, so there is a limitation to them. If you can get the data from the manufacturer, then you can set it up for your drawings. the issue is, that most manufacturers only have the load table which does not give you the moments of inertia that are required for braceworks. this has been our biggest problem getting the data into the software.

SCParker Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hi Rob, Understood. If you have the info for truss, is there a way to obtain the update without having to wait for the next service pack? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Rob Books Posted April 2, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 2, 2018 Unfortunately, with how that part is set up, we have no way of distributing it other than in a Service Pack. Quote Link to comment
wadecordts Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I got a reply from my email to XSF. They said that they have been working on putting together models for Vectorworks for over a year, and that they sent over the models to Vectorworks about a month ago. They said they are just waiting on Vectorworks at this point. On another note, It seems like there is only 12" truss for XSF in the library. Why is the 20.5" truss not available?

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Rob Books Posted March 12, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 12, 2019 We have been working on the libraries as we receive them from SFX. The geometry is released through Service Select updates which occur about every other month, cross sectional data can only be released in service pack updates. Quote Link to comment
