Beam Clamps Modeling
« on: Nov 11, 2024, 12:56:00 PM »
Hello community!

I'm trying to place beam clamps on the hangers that I've modeled with ITM Hangers option but is not working. I placed the families needed into the corresponding eVolve folder and also tried using ITM Rod Adjustment without success. Do you guys have any clue to solve this? I

btw: the clamps are Pipe Accesories families, could this affect the placement?

thanks!

Ignacio

Are you selecting a reference plane to extend to? If you don't want adjustment to rod length, I would uncheck the Rod Adjustments box, and only have the Place Embeds box checked along with the options.

Is Evolve throwing an error? Or does it just not do anything?

Also, you can set the file path to be anywhere, it doesn't have to be pathed to the evolve families folder. We have ours pathed to our own company library.

Yes, I was modifying the reference plane to see if that helped but no. The program doesn't do anything, I don't know if I need to do some setup on the family's parameters.

Thanks!

Have you tried unchecking the Rod Adjustments area? Or setting adjust rod length to 0"?

I'll attach the family that I made that we use with no issues. Let me know if that works for you.

It worked by restarting my pc and unchecking the rod length adjustment option. I don't know which one was the solution but many thanks anyways!

Regards!
