  • Housed Joint

    Hello Jens,


    Yes, the notch function did extend to beam into the post by 2" correctly. But the column received a housing 8" wide rather than the 3" width of the beam.

    I have a 3x beam and an 8x column the beam is flush to one side of the column and I want to let this 3x beam into the column and have 2" of bearing ( no tenon ). What I have tried so far gets me a housing the full width of the column I need the housing to be the same width as the 3x beam with 2 " of bearing. Please advise.


    Thanks!

  • Metal Shape to CNC

    Hi Der_Planer,


    I just thought I would let you know I have my export dxf to my CNC operator all worked out. By exporting out of D-cam and importing into my other cad program and tweaking the drawing. I hope in the near future PlanCad will easily handle exporting to a CNC laser cutting machine. Thanks to all that helped.

  • General Storage

    Hello Der_Planer


    In menu I see my project folder but the file does not exist. Now I have two I Can't find. Shouldn't I be able to locate the file from PlanCad as well? 8O

    I'm saving a current view in D-Cam and selecting File formate DXF 2000 and gave it a name. Now where is this file stored? I can not find it. :roll:

  • Metal Shape to CNC

    Hi The_Planer,


    I just saved a current view in D-Cam and selected dxf 2000. Now I need to acess this dxf file from PlanCad and make corrections to the drilled holes. Where do I go from here? Export dxf from PlanCad to my fabricator.

  • Metal Shape to CNC

    I tried exporting my metal shape by going to 3D export. When I first started to do the 3D export I went to a front view, the view I needed of my metal shape and did the export. I then opened the dxf file in PlanCad and it was in a plan view which was the view I did not need. Today I will call the operator of the laser CNC machine. I'm thinking I'll likely have to do the same as Der_Planer mentioned. I'm thinking it may be best to do a save current view from D-Cam bring it into PlanCad and export dxf from PlanCad.


    Thanks!

  • Single Beam Drawing

    Still having problems. It seems to happen when holes have been drilled in the hip and jack rafter. Again I get dimensions only, no beam lines. 8O

    Hi Joachim,


    I followed your instructions but it did not work. I then tried the tabloid default and it worked. I guess at this point it only makes sense to create a new company template off the tabloid default.

  • Single Beam Drawing

    I have a hip rafter in roof design when I select single beam drawing from roof design, In D-Cad the dimensions are shown and one end view but not the lines of the hip rafter?

  • Purlins

    Thanks Joachim,


    What I did was created a slice in my roof and used the rising plate tool in roof design went back to D-Cam copied and distribute the purlins along the rafter length. It got me what I wanted. So I could have entered the purlins I wanted in my roof profile would I have done this with battens settings?



    Thanks for the reply !

  • Purlins

    I have a roof profile, I placed plates and rafters using rafter and plates from proflie. Now I want to distribute purlins on top of the rafters along it's length. Is there a tool to do this? I'm trying the tool rising plates, but can't seem to get the purlins on the top of the rafter.


    Thanks!
