Z-profiles

Where can I find/load Z-profiles into ASD database to use it as a purlins/girt profile?

Anyone know how to make connections between rafters/beams and laped Z-purlins?

Thanks.

Do you have another solution for this?

In the virtual event a few weeks ago Jack Johnson said to me that you have some videos to explain a bit more to use better these connections

Sorry but this a standard/automatic connection but I having problems to standarize this with ASD.

Please see in the attached.

Thanks

Hi,

The standard connection that I know near to what I see in your attached file is Purlin-rafter:

Select the macro: Purlin-rafter

Select rafter and press Enter

Select purlin and press Enter

Define connection

See the file joined.

Cheers,

Sorry Jad,

I´ve  trying to connect a tapered beam to Z purlin but ASD dont recognozis the beam as a valid object.

In your example the hot rolled profiles are idetified as a valid member.

can you help me again?

Thanks

Do you know if there is an Imperial database for Zee shapes?

I'm sorry, many time ago I've moved from ASD to other programs that they are more flexible than this. I only use ASD for simple details.
