Bar Joist seat

Anonymous — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:45:42 GMT

i tested all the options in the OBJECT SELECTION SETTINGS on a bar joist 13 but cant figure it out... is there a way to change the depth of the bar joist seat.. typically its either 2 1/2" or 5".. see attached file.. "N" is what we need to change (just the seat) "A" is fine

thanks

anyone have an answer to this? or is this not possible.. the bar joist 13 top and bottom profiles have to be the same depth the entire length of the joist?

There is no parameter for that in the existing part.

I have a web joist object that has that option, and many more that are not available with the out-of-the-box joist. It may not look exactly the same, but I have been using it since AC7. It is available on my website:

And I am always open for suggestions on how to improve my GDL creations.
