Parts stretching when they shouldn't.....

Anonymous — Thu, 29 Nov 2018 08:37:21 GMT

Morning all

I've got an odd problem with parts stretching when using the grips to pull out knew sections of ductwork, and I don't know what has changed within the database to let this happen.

In the attached image, you can see the problem demonstrated on a circular VCD, but it happens on other pieces of equipment live fire dampers as well.

I used to be able to stretch the grips on the dampers and it would draw a new piece of ductwork, but now it just deforms the part.

Any help with this would be most appreciated as it's driving me mad.

Thanks very much

go to Edit Main Database >> Takeoff>> CAD Settings >> Go to Stretch Tab

and uncheck the "Restrict to use Items from the same Tab"

See the image below
