Mike Wright Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 This may be a change of workflow but the welded corner blocks in the Prolyte truss library only offer 2 planes when connecting. You cannot for instance go 'up' from a horizontal truss. Anyone else noticed this? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted November 10, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 10, 2021 I just did a quick check and found the issue, the new truss magnets have not been set correctly to allow connections in all 4 possible directions. The content team have been notified and are working to correct the truss library, in the mean time you can fix this yourself by editing the magnets in the corner symbol, so you can keep working. import the symbol definition into your file resources right click on it and in the context menu choose edit 3D component once in the editing mode group select all the truss magnets with the select similar tool (they are in their own class) and in the properties look for the allow extra roll angle drop-down open it and choose the 90°, 180°, 270° option exit the symbol once this has been done it should behave correctly, The final thing to do is to save the edited symbol to your user or workgroup folder so that you don't need to do this again for the next project.

Mike Wright Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Thanks. New to truss magnets. Perhaps you can clear up a resultant query from the fix above? I've set the magnets on a box corner to be gendered so that when I attach the ATT spacers they always sit in the correct orientation. However, if I add the ATT to the top face of the box corner it creates a new symbol for the rotated ATT which does not have the same gendered magnet properties. See below: Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted November 12, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 12, 2021 Hi Mike I think this is a bug and will get it into the system, what truss symbols did you use? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted November 15, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hi Mike I've been trying to reproduce this issue for the bug report and at the moment using the current 2022 sp1.1 build I can't. Can you send me the file, so I can take a look? Quote Link to comment
