Finish for bolts to be an entry in connections macro

Finish for bolts to be an entry in connections macro

Hello,

 

Currently finish for bolts is not part of connections dialog windows, example - the attached screen shot.

 

If we have a structure that is partially painted and having bare bolts, and if other part is galvanized and having bolts galvanized, we have to select manually bolts to be galvanized and change the finish.

 

It is not handy.

 

It will be great if we can manipulate the bolts finish from each connection macro.

I added the below comments to another similar post...

 

This is not necessarily a good thing.

 

Supposing the spec of a project changes and you have to change all bolts from say BZP to Galvanised finish.

Currently you can select all bolts and change it.

 

If the bolt finish were a property of the joint, you would have to edit every joint in the model, which would be far more time consuming.

...or having to explode joints to do it quickly, which is also not desirable.

 

Same applies for the properties of other created joint objects like plates and beams - having some of the properties outside the joint is a good thing - in my opinion anyway!

 

...so if this ever gets changed, we certainly need the option to keep current behaviour as well.

 

Of course the ultimate solution would be that we can set any object properties inside or outside the joint without exploding the joint!!  :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht:

There is another idea:

 

Finish of bolts for galvanized steel to get Galvanized finish automatically when creating joints between galvanized members, with an option to manually make them plain.
