acdeslx Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) I'm using a number of Christie Lites' 7.5 degree T-link bars in a truss system. I can't seem to make the truss all one system while accurately angling the truss to the angle forced by the T-link bar. For example: Step 1: Place a 6' piece of truss, connect another 6' piece of truss to it, connect a 7.5d bar to those -- all good Step 2: Connect a 6' piece of truss to the bar - still good However, the connection is still a straight connection and doesn't take the 7.5 degree push into account If I rotate the piece of truss to match the angle then it is no longer part of the "system." Is there a way to place the truss at the angle forced by the T-link bar or select the truss objects and force them to become a "system." I'm trying to use Braceworks to calculate my loads and well... without it being a "system", I don't know how to make it work. Thanks. Dave Edited October 28, 2019 by acdeslx Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee JustinVH Posted October 28, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 28, 2019 @acdeslx What version of Vectorworks are you using? There were some improvements done to the files in VW2020 and the T-Link bars work and make the angle. Quote Link to comment
acdeslx Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hi Justin. I'm still running 2019. Perhaps I'll move this particular drawing to 2020 and give the new version a test. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee JustinVH Posted October 28, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 28, 2019 Here you go, I made you a 2019 T-Link file. Let me know how they work for you. Christie T-Bars v2019.vwx Quote Link to comment
