    Weldment Not Available

    Under the weldments tab I'm not able to make lines structural elements, everything is just grayed out.

    The program was just downloaded yesterday so I doubt a have corrupted files. Any ideas?

    Please confirm that you have a part open when it's grayed out.

    It happens when I open a new part file. If all I do is make a single line shouldn't I be able to make it a structural part?

    I have always selected lines from a closed sketch, not sure what would happen if the sketch was still open for edit.


    I just confirmed the sketch needs to be closed, otherwise the weldment stuff is grayed out.

    I use weldments quite often.

    I started my fuselage drawing with a 3D sketch. I then insert structural elements.

    You will find that you have to build files for all the structural elements you want to use. When you are ready for that step post a note and I or someone will explain how to do that. It is fairly simple but will take some hunting for the directories where every thing is located.
