Allo,
I'm trying to cut TJI's from the database. I can only cut them square.
I would like to cut them at an angle, such as a plumb cut (obolz) on a rafters.

Hey
I answered my own question. I used 3-5-1 instead of 3-5-2 and it worked.
Hans
:? :? :?
I was able to cut my TJI's in the valley, but I cannot them plumb. Even with using 3-5-1. I even tried 5-5-(5,6,7) parallel to a plane. :?
Hans
You should be able to use all this functions with TJI too. There are no restrictions.
What is going on if you try to cut the TJI? Is there any message or do you just get a wrong result?
Hi Joachim
you know when you go through the steps, pick the piece, choose your plane with 2 lines or 3 points and then pick your point on the plane, then it asks you which end do you wish to cut. When it works, the dialogue box for the distance to the cutting plane opens up and all is good. When I try to make a plumb cut, it quits after selecting the end you wish to cut and the highlighted piece turns off and your prompted to select the next piece for cutting. If I try just a vertical cut (3-5-2), it just deselects the piece after choosing the end of the piece to cut.
Thanks for your time
Hans
Hi Hans,
I checked your problem with an example but I cannot reproduce it. In my case it worked fine.
Can you give us your position as attachement?
Hi joachim
Here's my position.

Hi Hans,
there are very strange things going on with your TJIs 8O
How did you get them to their place where they are now?
I think they were not made in roof construction, because they are all grey there.
If you enterd them in Dicam Free Construction, why do most of them have no cuts? (empty list!)
When I try to devide them with 3-5-4, they are really devided as if I had chosen 3-5-3. I checked the beam's coordinate systems, but they seem to be ok.
I also checked, if dicam works with global coordinates, and it was correct.
I entered a new TJI, and rotated it like a rafter. This new beam has two cuts (at beginning and end). With my TJI all 3-5-x functions work well.
So how did you enter your TJIs, that they behave so strange? :roll:
I found out, that not all your beams are so strange. The strange ones have an other width as the normal ones (1 digit difference at 4th decimal place).
I think you enterd the normal beams on one side of the roof, and duplicated them by mirroring to the other side. By experience I know, that mirrored beams are not as exact as normal beams are, so you should be very careful with this function.
Delete all beams you have mirrored, and enter them once again as normal TJIs, then, I guess, the problem is solved.
I originally entered the first pair in wall design using the 5-3-7 command and inputing the correct lenght. I tried cutting a plumb cut at the peak in Wall but it wouldn't let me. So I cut them square after thinking that it might be easier to assemble on site anyway. Then in Dicam I changed their MOS. then copied them. Then I tried cutting vertically in Dicam. and now I'm here.
But come to think of it, why didn't I insert them in Roof Design? :oops: :roll:
Whatever you did, it was an unusual way. If you check the TJI's coordinate systems, you will see, that one roof side is ok, but on the other side the beams are upside down. I think I would renew them all in roof design.
btw: do you really know, your dovetail corners are ok? I don't think so. The angles should point to opposite direction.
No, I didn't know about the dovetails. I just did those ones quickly for the elevation drawings. I guess the shop guys are goig to have a good laugh at my expense. :wacko:
Thanks for your help. I'll redo those TJI's in Roof and let you know how it goes.
Danke
Hansi.
only for interest:
the mess started with your wall No.12
When you measure the inside bottom line, you see, that it is not exactly 270°.
I guess, this was the origin of your TJIs. If the wall had been exactly straight, perhaps you might not have had a problem.
Hi Planer,
are you never going to sleep? Working at 02.00 in the night and helping the guys in Amerika?
Yes, it seems so.
Hans had a question, so what should I do?
Yes you are right. You had just two possibilties:
Helping Hans or lying in the bed with a bad conscience. So you realy had no choice. :lol:
I think we should ask Planers wife, does she agree with him or not? :lol: :lol:
Maybe he had a computer in the bedroom for doing the forum- works for the people in the new world (o) :whistle: :-#
No compi that I could reach from my pillow.
But please, do NOT ask my wife. 8O
It's better for me,
it's better for her,
and much better for you all!
Well, thank you for all your input
I was wondering about that time difference. A big thumbs up for the customer support. My partner often wondered what I was doing in front of the computer at 2:00
:-k The thing I like about construction is that it is humbling. Now, if we could get the walls to be square to within .001 of a degree on the construction site, \:D/ .
BTW. Os there an easy way to flip those dovetails, or should I delete the process and start over??
Hans
Please delete the dovetails and start again.
