Hi

I need some help with a formula that does the following:

SCENARIO: Building Basic Truss Components in 1.0m, 0.5m lengths

We've created a Truss component that has a Length parameter allowing us to type in the length, and the component adjusts accordingly (usual stuff). Within this, we have a set of Support Beams that array if the length is over 1.0m - however, the grouped supports are 1.0m in length and therefore stick out the end of all 0.5m lengths.

Is there way for me to create a 0.5m support and have that display for all lengths of 0.5m value?

I hope that makes sense... see attached pic.

Thanks.

Can't you just use a conditional statement to control the visibility?  I'm pretty sure you can.

If you have the weld-symbol family, you can find an example there.  Otherwise, I'll dig around and post it.
