- Got some framing layouts and began placing more members.
- I renamed Level 2 to Top of Steel and placed all beams on that level for ease of modification later. Hopefully this won't conflict with any Arch Levels that might be named the same.
- The Framing tag that I want to use for beams should have an elevation on it. I search the net -
a. Edit Family - Save as New
b. Add Label - Add Parameter - argh... something about shared parameter files... maybe I'll get into this later. - Found some information for 2.5K Joists here:
I don't think he is needing a full truss, since those are already included. What he was looking for is used for short spans, and is essentially 2 - 2 1/2" channels back to back. It is basically the 2 1/2" seat of a K-joist. The way I created one of these is to take a standard joist and get rid of the bars, the top & bottom chord, and just extend the seat the full length. - Ended up creating a new family using an 8K1. Be sure to open all views when editing a family so you can see all the parameters. I started by deleting the K Joist parameters not needed, one at a time so as not to interfere with constraints and formulas. There's a lot of extra parameters on the VS joist I created that are probably not necessary, but it works. Right now it only includes a 2.5VS1, but I'll add more later.
