The Truss Inventory dialog box allows you to manage and define the trusses and truss types for use by the automated truss and truss type replacement features. The default list of trusses includes the truss content located in the user and application libraries, and allows you to specify what is available for use, or “in” the inventory. The inventory can be exported for use in an inventory control system.
To manage the truss inventory:
1. Select the command.
The Replace Truss dialog box opens.
2. Click Truss Inventory.
The Truss Inventory dialog box opens.
Click
to show/hide the parameters.
3. Select a Truss Type on the left; the Truss Inventory lists the available content. Select an item and click Edit to specify quantities available in inventory.
The Update Inventory dialog box opens. Enter the quantity of that length of truss type available in the inventory, and click OK.
4. In the Truss Inventory dialog box, the Quantity value reflects the current available inventory. Click in the Use column to make the truss type and length available for use by the Auto-Calculate feature and for truss type replacement.
5. If desired, inventory changes can be made in an external inventory program or spreadsheet program. Click Export to create a .csv file, make the changes, and then click Import to import the edited .csv file back into Vectorworks.
When editing the spreadsheet, do not change the name of the symbol. The name must remain intact to re-import the data.
6. Click OK to return to the Replace Truss dialog box. The items available in the Inventory portion of the dialog box update.
