GW Rodriguez Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hey all, For some reason a truss object that's vertical has different 2D and 3D X position. The two images are in Top/Plan and Top views, so the same perspective, but they're drastically different. Any insights on how to fix this? 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted March 10, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 10, 2020 This is a known bug and will be fixed in a up coming service pack. It only affects the old 'straight truss tool', the newer symbol based' insert truss' tool is not affected. 1 Quote Link to comment

This was happening to me in January and up until I read this, I thought it was me doing something wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment
ReMatsu Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Guys, thanks for fixing this on SP3! However when you use the mirror tool, the mirrored truss have the same problem. Can you please check that? Edited March 20, 2020 by ReMatsu Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted March 20, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 20, 2020 I'll look into it and open a bug report Quote Link to comment

JGuffin2010 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 good find on the mirror tool bug. Oddly enough I found if you continue to duplicate it works out to be fine....which is very odd. temporarily grouping does not make this work any better either. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted March 25, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 25, 2020 thanks for the info I'll add it to the report Quote Link to comment
Guest Yordan Kostadinov Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 @JGuffin2010, thanks for the info. The mirror tool actually flips most the objects, making them look like you're seeing them in a mirror. Mirroring again flips the truss again and fix it. Until we resolve the problem, you can workaround it also by using the Flipping menu commands. Quote Link to comment
