Truss

Anonymous — Sat, 28 Oct 2017 00:29:43 GMT

Does anyone know if I can recreate this truss with the Macro or is it limited?

I attached truss drawn with auto cad and need to recreate it in Advance, so far this is as close as I can get.

Any suggestions/Tips greatly appreciated.

This kind of truss is out of the pattern of AAS because there are diagonals with different angles and different lenghts...

In my opinion you shoud try to model this truss saving a poliline in AutoCAD and everytime you need to model it...use de copy/paste tool and finnaly use the tool in AAS called "profile in a line"

I hope that helps...

Yes it helps, thank you. Forgive me but I cannot find "profile in a line tool".

Beam from line tool, on ribbon , home tab, objects panel, just to the left of the main beam creation button.

Draw lines to create the truss outline, then use "beam from line".

Beams created , change sizes and properties as required.
