markdd Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Built-in Braceworks Truss objects, Lighting Pipes and and VWX Truss tool objects when converted to Hanging positions work well with the Insert connection tool. However, I want to make a custom symbol work in the same way (I've made a ladder section bar). I have converted it to a functioning truss object and also attached a Truss record, but when converted to a hanging position it does not work with the Insert Connection tool. Can anybody tell me if I am doing anything wrong! Thanks Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the reply Rob I still can't get it to work. I've enclosed the file. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? TRUSS CONNECTION TOOL.vwx I've just restarted the program and now it works. Does some bit of functionality crash from time to time? I have had this quite alot since these new tools were introduced?

markdd Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) OK so its happened again on another file. @Rob Books Could you take a look and tell me what is incorrect? Thanks Ibeam example.vwx Edited July 28, 2018 by markdd Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Thanks Rob. I don't really understand what you mean. The bottom ibeam has been turned into a hanging position intentionally which was the reason for the query. I cannot get the Truss connection tool to work with it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 So the truss connection tool will not work on a truss object once its been turned into a hanging position. Unless you edit the hanging position to add connections etc. I'm trying to understand how vwx sees hanging positions these days. Are they a collective name for truss and motors and connections etc combined. Or can Truss, motors and hanging positions all work with each other as separate entities? Thanks Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Thanks. I'm getting there. Its difficult to understand why truss objects and associated tools won't work with Hanging Positions when they are all wrapped up in the same workflow..... Quote Link to comment
