[Plugin]T2H_BuildingStructureTools2.2.4 in20141207

Hi All,

New the SU but finding it very useful.

Thanks to Tak2hta for the BST plugin. I looks realy good.

I'm using SU8 Pro on Window 7 OS.

In the PlugIns menu under building structure tool I don't seem to have the 'Add New Profile'. The tutorial video seems to indicate it should be there??

Appreciate any help.

Thanks

Hi,
I update this in Sep 05,2012.
Bugfix about extending to face with selecting single bst entity.

Hi,Sumaster.
Adding toolbar like previous version has not done well yet.
I gave priority to correction of a bug and update.
wait while.

Hi,david.
"Add new profile" was disable since version1.0.
Because the adding to CSV with ruby script has problem.
The text code is defferent between languages.
So the character peculiar in the language included in csv will be modified strange when ruby overwrite the csv file.
Please edit CSV file with application like Excel or open office calc.

Thanks.

Hi TAK2HTA,

Thanks for the reply.

I presume modifying CSV file allows new sizes for existing profile to be added. This is not what I want to do.

Like CTMan I would like to add new profile shape for beams, similar to CTMan's PFC profiles. Instrucion on how to this would be apprecated. We need to be able to customise to get the most out of this realy useful plugin.

Thanks

Hi Guys,
I would like to draw your attention to the 'shapes' in tak2hata's plugin - look at the Class SHAPE and the profiles defined as *.SKP files.

You can draw any complex shape as long is contained within single face - sample below.

Does anyone know where to find more RC_WALL options for the BST, when I installed it (which is very useful BTW) it only shows 4 options?

Thanks.

Hi,CTMan.
I add link to your reply in the top of thread.
Thanks a lot for uploading your profile list of UK STEEL.

Channel([) have tapered flanges when the schema is like "[-100x50x5x7.5x8x4"
Channel([) have not tapered flanges when the schema is like "[-100x50x5x7.5"
So If you want to not tapered flange Channel,the schema is like "[-AxBxCxD".

Hi,sumaster.
"Extend to structure" tool works extending the structure to the other structure.not to face.
extending to structure.
Using "Extending to Face" to extend like this picture takes time and effort.
So "Extend to Structure" exists for that purpose.

I see the "undo" problem.
I will fix it few days.

Thanks.

I just upgraded to the latest version, but am no longer able to access "steel columns" in the North American List? Other elements appear to work fine.

Hi,Sufractal.
In my enviroment,"Steel Column" shown from "North American pflist" no problem.
Check the line include "##" in the csv file, If you edited it.
"##STEEL_COLUMN" is needed.

so, send to me your profile list or upload here it.
and I will look it.

Thanks.

Hi,
I tested it working fine.
Steel Column shown fine.
I judge that it is fine by looking only that picture.
The last advice I say is "Change Profile list path" and select it again.

The information about this problem is too small.
Is there anyone had same problem?
and please reply here.

Thanks.
