    Ladder and cage alignment with extend & direct Vertical bars (stringers)

    Hi there,

     

    I'm quite new to ASD but have adapted nicely so far without formal training, however I have one issue that I can't seem to figure out...

     

    I have a catladder arrangement with vertical bars that are direct and extended (widened) at the top, when I create the cage it does not create a smooth transition along the vertical bars? Am I doing something wrong?

     

    I have an attached picture to show what I mean.

    Truly said screen is not enough.

    Maybe the sample dwg file you have?

    Hi Jakub,

     

    Here is the ladder and cage.dwg (2013).

     

    Thank you!

    I am affraid that the cage is not possible to align to the extended widened vertical bars.

    For me it is rather a field to improve the functionality but you can model something similar instead of it.

    Look at attched model.
