You can create transfer files of truss drawings created using the Vertex BD software, and then export the transfer files to an external truss design software. The program creates a text file of each truss drawing in a folder in the project folder, usually in the truss_picts folder. You can check the folder name in a message box which is displayed after the transfer files have been created.
The program names the transfer files as follows:
label_no.xxx
Symbol | Description |
label | The truss label |
no. | A unique number assigned to each truss drawing. If the truss in the drawing has several load cases, a separate text file is generated for each load case. |
xxx | The file extension - depends on the truss design program used. |
The program will overwrite any previous transfer files with the same name in the folder, but will not delete other transfer files.
dir(61)= SHARED none mitek_trs Mitek truss link default library
If SHARED ms_volume points to the shared folder, the above example setting will create a folder named mitek_trs/project_name under the shared folder. The transfer file will be saved in that folder.
tde_proj_fields= MODEL CITY PROJ_ID DRAWN_BY
You can import the trusses created with the Truss D&E truss design software to Vertex BD software with the same function. You must first save the files in the project's Trusses folder.
The system creates true 3D models of the trusses utilizing the truss layout. The trusses are placed at their right locations in the roof. Mapping between the cross sections that are used by Truss D&E and Vertex BD is defined in a mapping table, which is automatically updated when you import trusses from Truss D&E. If a suitable cross section can not be found from the table, the program asks which Vertex BD cross section would you like to use. This information is stored in the mapping table for further use.
If you import several trusses, which do not belong to the truss layout, in separate drawing windows, the program will ask you to confirm the importing only once. If the number of trusses is too large for the program to open them all at once, the program gives you a warning: "There would be too many trusses to be left open on the screen. Trusses will be converted on a background process."
You can import the trusses created with the Keymark truss design software to Vertex BD software with the same function. Save the transfer files into one folder which contains no other truss information. All the trusses in the folder will be imported to Vertex.
Truss panels are created from the imported data (.loc, .kxf and .kxr files). This enables exporting the truss data to Hundegger SC-1 production management, for example. The property Type (FNC_TYPE) is set for the trusses. Trusses that require punching can be filtered using this property.
