Cams & dowels

Unread post by Exakt »

Hello!

Regarding multi-component assembly in TS Wood.

Does anybody know how to adjust the depth of the 5 mm drilling for the threaded connecting bolt? I prefer the one with a 11-12 mm thread. TS standard depth is 8,5 mm...

Best regards,

Christoffer / Exakt

here some options you can think about without me knowing how you are setup :?: I can only suggest you explore the below:

1.) is it done with a catalog then you need to add to the that
2.) is it a parameter and is it a diver if not make it one
3.) copy the component and change the depth and put it in your library

Sorry if the original question was a bit unclear.

Todd, to begin with, I can't even find the component?

Cheers!

Christoffer.

I'm suggesting if you cant find it make it. its not that complex of a component.
do you have your own library? or are you using ones that came with TopSolid wood.
I would suggest you make your own if you have not already.

Hi.

In this case, I'm using the standard minifix TopSolid component. I just can't find it in order to alter it...
