Hello
Is there a way to change the initial value of the constrained block thickness? In my version it starts with 19mm but we usually work with 18mm thick panels and sometimes I forget to modify this.
Thank you

Re: default constrained block thickness
Hello
yes it is.
$TOPCONFIG\V6XX\topzwoo.cfg
D_SH_BLOCK_CONSTRAINT_THICKNESS 0.016
0.016 is in meters. If it doesn't work, try to add it some other cfg file.
By the way, I am using always parametric thickness for elements. Never know, when someone want to replace it for some other material and then it's painful to change all thicknesses part by part.

Re: default constrained block thickness
Thank you
I will try your solution right now.

Later edit:
It worked but I had to add your line in top.cfg and not in topzwoo.cfg
Btw, is there an official documentation for this kind of settings?

Re: default constrained block thickness
There is no documentation about those settings. I got this solution from my reseller, who is working with TopSolid Wood around 15y and they have 200+ users.
One place what You can do is check this file: top_ex.cfg. It's in several languages and You can take some good commands to Your cfg file. Just read it row by row.
Years ago in one day I just grab some beers and went through ALL cfg files. Also some txt files and other types, which were opened with notepad++.
I got tons of hidden information.
Working with TopSolid Wood needs to think uncommonly I am using lot of small things, which are not shown in any document and I found those solutions during hardcore testing and trying.
Enjoy!
