Hammer Beam BentBent: Structural network of timbers or a truss that makes up one cross-sectional piece of the frame.The first bent will be made utilizing, for the most part, 3D components as one might do in the realworld. A single timber will be created, it will have materials assigned to it and this timber will be thebasis for all of the timbers in the drawing.Select the Box tool from the 3D Object toolbar.Place the cursor in the drawing area over one of the grid intersection. Press the G key (G SEKE snap) onthe keyboard to snap the first point of the box (an 8 × 8 × 19' timber) to the grid. Tab into the InspectorBar and enter 8 in the Length and Height fields and 19' in the Width field. Press Enter.Because the drawing Space Units are set to inches anynumber entered without a suffix will be read as inches.Since the timbers are not standard dimensional lumber itwill be assumed that an 8 × 8 inch timber will measure 8 × 8inches and not 7.5 × 7.5 inches as it would with standardlumber. Since the board in this case is 19 feet long the usermust add the foot suffix (any foot suffix can be used ' or ft).Note: If a user only knew the metric measurement it couldbe enter as well, using the metric suffix and <strong>TurboCAD</strong>would perform the conversion.If a reader has not yet noticed there are instructions at the bottom of the <strong>TurboCAD</strong> desktop to help withthe tools.Like so.Press the Space Bar to exit the tool.18
