MTRobin Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Hi Everyone, Is there a way to replace truss objects in the OIP? Lighting devices have a button to replace the lighting device with another one in your library, but I don't see one for truss objects. Am I missing something? I currently have a document with hundreds of truss objects that need to be replaced with another truss symbol type. Thank you, Maxwell Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 You should investigate the Replace Truss command. You may need to add it to your workspace though. Quote Link to comment
MTRobin Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 That works, but is really a lot of steps to get what I am looking for. Realistically I'd like to select all the truss objects I want to replace and then just replace them. Having to select through a list until I find the truss I want to replace is a bit kludgy. Any thoughts? Thanks, Maxwell 1 Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I think the rationale is about connections and braceworks. I think if the Replace Truss command could be better implemented then it would be more useful for that moment when you know you need to swap out like for like..... Quote Link to comment
MTRobin Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Yes. My most use case is swapping black truss for silver truss. All my truss symbols are custom made and I have a symbol for black and silver. It is often that I draft things in silver truss and then have to change it all to black. Right now I have to go through and delete and replace them one by one. Quote Link to comment
