Add Eyebrow Trusses

You can use this function to add trusses to an eave return, for example. The slope you select and the truss parameters will define the shape of the trusses.

1. Select Trusses > Special Trusses > Eyebrow Trusses.
2. Select the truss parameters. The previously selected parameters are the default parameters. You can reselect the parameters by using the function Edit truss parameters on the contextual toolbar.

3. Select the slope.
   
4. If you selected a slope whose length exceeds a certain limit, you will be prompted: "Add trusses? Slope length is xxxxx." In this situation, the program presumes that you have accidentally clicked a wrong slope, for example the slope of the main roof. Do either of the following:
   • Select Yes. The program adds the trusses.
   • Select Only Selected. You can select another slope

Note

• You can later edit the truss area using the following functions:
  • Edit a Truss Area - editing involves the exact same steps as adding a truss area.
  • Update Truss Shapes - you can reselect trusses' upper and lower structures. In addition, you can define the distance between the top or bottom chord of the truss and the limiting structure.
  • Generate Trusses - you can reselect truss parameters.
