Truss or Space Frame Builder

JCCARLOS91 — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 04:09:27 GMT

Hi,

We're trying to build a space frame in the model. We've imported a library from http://www.3dmediadesign.it/other-obj.html but whenever we place the objects into the model it comes as 3d lines which don't show up in BIMx. See attached image.

Has anyone come across this library or any recommendations for a space frame maker?

Thank you!

Operating system used: Mac Intel-based 13 Ventura

There are some space frame objects in the default Archicad library.

I have no idea what they are like, and it does not look like any of them curve.

I am not aware of any 3rd party objects.

Barry.

Hi everyone, ArchiCAd (sort of)-Newbie here.

Not to hijack the thread, but whats the best way in ArchCad to turn trusses into columns, like in the above example? In my case, I'd want to create a costumn truss e.g. via TrussMaker. Morph would probably work, I guess, but that's not a very elegant solution.

Thanks for any input!
