ricatic Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 i am building a demo model of a pole barn for a potential client. I need to provide diagonal x blocking between the first two poles adjacent to each corner from slab level at the corner and top of the poles. I show a kludged cad box filled orange and a CAD line showing the desired path in the cross section view. I have searched both the Help and Knowledge Base to no avail...Help would be much appreciated. As an aside, if I can close the deal, I will be upgrading to CA X12. I have been working on the project in the trial version and realize it is a better product. Regards Rick Demo Barn-Rod.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solver Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I did not look at your plan, but search my YouTube channel for backsplash for an idea for the braces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricatic Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 Thanks... DJP...I looked at that KB before I posted...I do not see any advice within regarding angled wall braces... Eric...I am aware of using a backsplash for a workaround but was hoping for a framing solution.. Is there a way to draw framing members at a "Z" axis angle?...or a way to rotate the framing in "Z" axis Regards Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricatic Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 I have been unable to select the framing member and have it have a rotation handle on Z axis...it will rotate on x or y axis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make a guess. What would happen if you select a framing member, lets say a 2x4 from a wall, open it and change it into a 4x2. Does that make sense?

DavidJPotter Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 for 45 degree angled objects you can use a sloped, custom shaped soffit or use the custom backsplash to create custom shaped objects in Pro. You often have to think out of the box to get everything done graphically speaking. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricatic Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 Eric I used the backsplash tool to reate a similar result but was unable to get it between posts like you show in your framing example...I could only move it to the face...not between...

ricatic Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 I have not been able to use a framing tool that will rotate around the axis as you show...evidently I have not discovered the secret...thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
