Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted April 7, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 7, 2021 I have added the HD truss symbols to the list for our content team, it may take some time since there is currently a back list of truss symbol requests for the team to work through. In the mean time you can create your own versions based on current FD libraries (since the external geometry is identical) and save them into a user or workgroup folder for future use, so that you only have to create the symbol once. import the desired truss symbol into an empty file duplicate it in the file resources and rename the duplicate right click on the duplicate and choose edit 2D component so you can edit the label included in the 2D geometry insert the symbol into the design layer and use the 'Customize Truss Symbol Data' command in all the fields that display 'FD****' change it to 'HD****' (Type, Name, Connectable With) enter the correct weight Lastly you need to change the cross section data hit the Change Cross Section Data button and in the Cross section dialogue use the 'sets' drop down at the top to change the cross section to the appropriate HD version, we currently have the cross section data for HD33, HD34, HD43 and HD44. once you are happy with the symbol save the file either into your user or workgroup folder. PM me if you need further help with this Quote Link to comment
