web beam 16 & 17 library parts

Anonymous — Wed, 05 Apr 2017 00:09:09 GMT

Tried using this part and the height of beam from project zero does not work correctly. Depth of truss is set to 18" and height to bot. of bottom chord is 11'-6". when I go to the model the bottom chord is at 10'-2". Disconcerting... Anyone use these and notice this too?

Jonathan:

Yes, the heights to Project Zero in the Info Box are wrong (same for the similar Bar Joist 20). The Height in the Setting db is to the top. Looks like a bug.

Hi David,

Guess I can deal with as long as they don't jump around (change locations over time) like the roc2 or whatever it was called. Rocks that after spending a bunch of time placing would move around. Was ridiculous!
Looks like on my bar joists the correct dimension is to the bottom of the
top chord angles...

Best to you, Jonathan

I used the Bar Joist 20 object in a project without any problems. The Height to Project Zero is a display issue, does not affect the Object's location.
