Solving TrusWall installation issues.


TrusWal software does not un install cleanly.
Folders, and some files will remain on C drive root folder , even if the installation is on another drive.
Left behind is also the Truswal.ini file in the C:/Windows directory. This contains the paths to UTX
files etc.

If the TrusWal installation is deleted from one drive, and installed on another, the truswal.ini file is
not necessarily overwritten with the new file paths. It is sometimes in use by some hidden .dll file, and
cannot be overwritten.
This will result in a failure to open TrusPlus from the Design software, giving a Design exe error.
Also all file paths in the UTX Categories may point to the original drive.

The remedy is to remove the truswal.ini file from the C:/Windows folder before the installation of
TP on the new drive.

Using measurement text boxes


When measurements are selected for the purpose of moving planes, items, etc, the new distance box
appears as below.

The new measurement may be entered directly, or if the amount to be moved is known, the equation
can be entered instead of the answer.

In the example above, the selected wall is to be moved closer to the other wall by 97mm.

Enter...

And click OK.
