Carl Burnett Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hello, Am I missing something (wouldn't be the first time). How can I make Tyler Truss look like truss instead of this (see attached screen shots) Thanks for any help Carl Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Turn off the class rigging-truss-3D-simple I my have the name wrong there, but it's close. 1 Quote Link to comment
Carl Burnett Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Thanks Kevin, Where do I find that? Thanks CB Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Well, I don't know where you're looking. If you're simply rendering on a Design Layer you can go to the Navigation palette, Classes tab and turn the class off. Similarly you can go to Tools>Organization and the Classes tab and turn off there. If you're woking in a SLVP, you have to select the SLVP and then click the Classes button in the OIP and turn the class off in there. 1 Quote Link to comment
Carl Burnett Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 OK, I don't want to turn it off or go to grey, I'm trying to get it to look like truss instead of a solid box. I see that it turns into truss when in grey, but not really what I'm looking for. Thank you Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 When you insert a truss object with the insert truss tool and choose a symbol from the library, VWX adds several classes. Amongst them are Rigging>Truss>Simplified ad Rigging>Truss>Truss. The simplified class is a really simple box geometry meant for speedy navigation. The Truss geometry is in the Truss>Truss class. Turn that on and turn the Truss>Simplified off. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 If you want to modify the truss, say make it blue, assign a texture in the Truss>Truss Class Definition. FYI, VWX folks, even though I just refreshed my libraries, I'm having difficulty accessing this truss library in the VWX Libraries, Only the VSS libraries 1 Quote Link to comment
Carl Burnett Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Thats great! I was confused. Thank you so much for taking the time to help out the bewildered CB 1 Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 @Rob Books I'm seeing them in the VWX lIbrary, BUT when I choose one I get a monstrously complex error message. Quote Link to comment
CETLV Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 You can also import the truss intl your drawing and from your resource manager select the truss and edit the 2d and 3d components by just selecting the box surrounding them and deleting. This will also allow you to purge the unecessary classes since there will be no data in them. Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 @Rob Books I only went to experiment with these because they were mentioned here. I wanted to be sure they were behaving as I expected. Here are a couple of screen shots Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 without getting into every option, I see the same problem with Chauvet and Tomcat. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted March 20, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 20, 2019 @Kevin Allen It sounds like your library index is out of date or has become corrupt. In the Resource Manager, click the gear icon and select Refresh Libraries and see if that fixes the error. Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 @klinzey tried that. I think I had to delete the RMCache folder. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted March 20, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 20, 2019 @Kevin Allen That was going to be the next step and there are a few other things to try if that did not work. Quote Link to comment
FRANCO Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Hi... Sorry. How can I do to add Tyler Truss (GT Truss) to my Library?. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Carl Burnett Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Hello Franco, It was in the Vectorworks Libraries in resource browser. if not it will be in VSS library. Carl Quote Link to comment
