New style lattice supports
What can I say... They're absolutely awful.
From the design side, with the lack of individual segments, they're not nearly as versatile as the once were. The cross bracing is not as rigid as before. And when it comes to removing the supports, they just won't let go of the model like they did before.
Please tell me what the last version was before the lattice supports changed - I'm going to go back to that version and not update until there are decent lattice supports again.
Hi Frank,
- you mean you can't change individual vertical segments anymore? (from cross brace to cross brace?)
Why would you want to do that?
A lot of the comments I always got wat that 1 vertical column would make much more sense.
(besides all the numerical advantages as it's a nightmare to manage seperate items as one in code generally)
- the cross bracing; you would want them thicker? If you edit the support (right click edit, checkbox 'apply to entire support' and then just modify the bracing. (screenshot below).
- removing supports -> did you double check the tipsize, tipdepth and beam diameter at tip? These should be the only paramters that matter there; and they shouldn't have changed.
- the last version before these new styles is V1273.
