Ribs being generated at an angle

[George Noble]

Hi guys bit of a novice to all things openVSP , I'm trying to generate some ribs and spars for the wings on the aircraft I'm modelling but for some odd reason my rib's are at an angle , im not sure how to fix this - any advice is greatly appreciated thank you

Can you post your file.

Also, can you detail a bit more about what you're trying -- and what you expect to have happen instead?

I really can't tell anything that is going on from one screenshot.

hello , sorry for the late reply 

I hope the attachement works alright (im running openVSP 3.43.0 if thats relevant)

I was looking around and saw someone model their wing like this (below)

  

I had a look at the AFM for the aircraft im modelling ( tecnam P2006T) and thankfully it had a layout of how the internal Ribs and Spars are supposed to look like so I was trying to model that , its possible im barking up the wrong tree so to speak

During my initial messing about I got a wing to look like this  ( on a side note no idea how people are making the mesh elements disappear and have the ribs and spars look like solid colours )

so the ribs being at an angle threw me for a loop , my messing about with settings didn't fix much but then again it could be that I didnt mess with the right setting

The file you attached does not have any structure definition in it.

There are a few videos on the Structures capability in OpenVSP from the 2025 Workshop.

Some by me, others by Bryan Sandoz.  I recommend you watch those.
