I have found the same problem, with the posts and the curved braces. Unfortunately I can not find a manual for timbercad. Is there a link somewhere to download one? Also, What is the Nominal setting exactly do when entering beam sizes? <0.000> I notice that when I type a whole number, the next prompt is enter beam size in a bxd format. The bxd format is clear, Can you define the function of the nominal size prompt?
Another question concerning brace construction. I understand Right and Left and locating the vertex of the two members to be braced is clear. How do I specify a lentgh of run, let's say a 36" run brace. I have tried several types of entries other than point selection with the mouse. I get all kinds of unpredictable results. What is my conceptual error?
Paul, thanks for the explanation of Bent Plan Wall. that makes things a little clearer. I was wondering how timbercad seperated the views for 3d viewing.
