How to create two trusses that intersect but are not connected?

Post by wsadwsad » Thu May 11, 2023 5:54 am

Dear STKO team:

I am trying to add diagonal braces to a frame, and I want these two braces to not connected each other in between. However, when I merge the model, a vertex is automatically created at the intersection point of the braces. Is there any way to remove this vertex?

Hi wsadwsad,

Try to use 'Make wire' instead of 'Merge' command. Let me know if it is what you needed.

Best wishes,
Valentina
