I kindly request the support team to address the following issue I have noticed in projects, which has caused financial losses for the company I work for.
When designing a panel, the software should assign distinct names to the different profiles present within it. For instance, let’s consider a simple panel with six bars: two of these bars are identical in both length and direction, while the other four are unique. A proper naming convention would label the two identical bars as "A" and the remaining as "B," "C," "D," and "E."
However, this is not what is currently happening, particularly when it comes to trusses. The software assigns the same name to different bars, leading to confusion and inefficiency. Below is an example truss that illustrates this issue. (I tried several times to put a image, but every time happen a error, so I sent by email).
You might be wondering, what’s the actual issue with this? The problem is as follows: several trusses have been produced with this error, and it directly impacts the quantity report generated by the software. In the quantity report, two different profiles with the same name were considered to have the same length. As a result, the real measurements do not match the generated data. When this discrepancy is multiplied across multiple elements, the error grows significantly.
I have identified this error, but many others could be affected by it. I look forward to your prompt response.
Hi!. First, thanks for let us know the issue. This seems to be a bug, as the software was designed to name pieces as you said, same length and orientation will have same name, while different lenght or orientation will be called wiht a different name. Lets continue this by email, wich is the best place to follow.
