SCParker Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I'm looking to learn more about Truss Crosses. How and why are they shown in a drawing? They seem random in some cases. See attached. I've circled all the truss crosses shown. The help files don't really help. Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee JustinVH Posted February 16, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hi Scott, Those truss crosses are showing connection points of other objects that are sitting either directly on top of the truss or directly underneath the truss. Basically, like a cheeseborough or a rotolock connection that is showing a connection to the truss. In the OIP you can choose to make this connection pliable (like a span set) or rigid. You can use it for placing truss on top of other pieces of truss or cantilevering a lighting pipe using the Lighting Pipe Tool off of a truss. It looks like there are many truss crosses that you did not intend to use as I do not see any reference objects connected to them. I have found them on truss to truss and truss to pipe connections but nothing else. Did they just appear on their own? Quote Link to comment
J. Miller Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Truss crosses are a bit odd. and seem to appear on their own sometimes. I have copied objects and (not the truss cross) and pasted into a new drawing only to have the truss cross appear and connected to nothing. I delete the truss crosses, and sometimes they will reappear Jeff Miler Quote Link to comment
