Hole in purlin for bridging not shown

[Anonymous]

The hole in the purlin for the bridging connections are not shown or produced in the purlin.

If the purlins are produced as shown, holes will need to be drilled onsite for the bridging, what an I missing ?

Thanks in advance.

The bridging tool is working OK as far as I can see from my tests Nigel, did you use the standard configuration for the type of bridging or did you modify the type of  locators in the naming tab which shouldn't make a difference.

Did you do a check drawing of the purlin to see if the hole is in fact there and just not showing up in the display, have you changed the visual style to see if it just isn't showing.

I created something similar to what you have and the holes show up fine.

Without knowing how you did this is it possible you could do a screencast to show the problem.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried all your suggestions with no luck.

I also done it again in another drawing with no luck.

See screen shot below of the model, purlin drawing and the bridging setting.

I didn't change the locators, they're standard and not changed.

I set the bridging layout as face to face.

Edit

This is a floor, it's horizontal and purlins at 450crs.

Never done a screen cast, but I'll see what I can do.

Appreciate the help.

Ok I've done a screen cast.

Attached is a screencast of how I do it just in case.

Also Nigel, what size and type of purlin did you use, because this tool is designed for the Australian designated purlins and if you use other than that the bridging will appear and not the holes, e.g. I changed the purlin to an Ayrshire C section and this is similar to what you got.

So I would stick to Stramit or Lysaght only.

I used Stramit C20024

But it's lysart bridging, I changed to Stramit and no difference.

I found if I use Lysart C purlins the hole SHOWS UP ?

As the bolts aren't shown here are they added to the final qty in the bolt list ?

holes will not be added to the customised purlins as well. Is there any solution? THX.
