nnicholson Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Ok, I can't figure out how to build truss towers with the insert truss tool. There is no hanging position option with the TomCat truss. Also cant find a truss base objest. Help? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee JustinVH Posted January 29, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 29, 2019 @nnicholson Tomcat did not provide us with any of the information to make their truss base objects and that is why there are none in the libraries. The JThomas libraries contain several product lines with truss bases that are setup to build truss towers using the insert truss tool. If you change the hanging angle at the top of the page to 90° before you insert a horizontal piece of truss you can make any piece of truss vertical and build a tower as the truss will now build vertically instead of horizontally. Just make sure to change the hanging angle back to 0° if you want to insert a piece of truss horizontally. I hope this helps and feel free to message me if you have any other questions.
