Hi,
Within detail style config... how is "Part Type" classified? How can I assign a part type to any part? Is it the part description or other category?
Thanks for any help
What you did in your dimension rule was to say: The element to be dimensioned is either a purlin plate (done by the purlin connection) or any shape with the description "Purlin xxxx" or any plate with the description "Purlin xxxx". Shapes are no anymore on the assigned part list as they have already a filter value. the same for plates.
For descriptions in general see:

Hi Johannes - thanks for the reply!
I'm pretty sure I understand your description - but haven't had a play with it just yet. I'll post back if I have any more questions
Thank you

Hi, is it possible to change part type from end plate to polyplate or all connection plates to polyplates?
