trussmaker

hi!

just a short question:

is there any possibility to create 3-dimensional constructions
with trussmaker and how?
for example multiple crossing trusses together. because my lines are only shown in the section/elevation that i draw in!

thanks in advance,

You have to decompose it to planar elements, place a section line in each of the planes of the future structure, generate each element, and then assemble it. The section window creation is handy, as the created object is immediately placed at the section position.

If the individual elements are not planar, then a freeform modeling tool like GDL Toolbox, ArchiForma or ZoomGDL can come in handy ...

HTH,
