    Default A problematic truss...

    And hello again to all reviteers...

    i'm struggling with a truss/beam...see the attached file...i'm trying to get the bottom curved member to "angle" with the two top members...AND to let all the intermediate struts to join them in their angling...i can get the top two curved members to angle very easily by adding a "angle" parameter...but how do you make the others follow suit....

    HELP!!!

    PLEASE!!!

    ps...not sure if this should be here or under "families"...

    Cheers,

    Rupert

    Probably I don't understand what you are after but ....

    Do you want to parametrically rotate ("angle") the curved upper beams AND the curved bottom beam along the common length axis AND the joins of the sub trusses have to follow that movement ?

    i was trying to explain it in a simple way...guess i got it wrong...but in short, yes...you explained it exactly...its essentially making the entire truss "move" by giving an "angle" parameter...
