Add Parts to a Truss Volume

You can model trusses using profiles and save them to the truss library. Select a truss from the library and add the parts saved in it to a truss volume in the model as follows:

1. Select one or more truss volumes.

   

2. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
3. Select Generate Parts. The Truss Structure dialog box opens.
4. Select a library and a classification in the list box. The example figure shows a customer-specific library modeled by the user.

   

5. Select the thumbnail image of a truss.

   

6. Confirm by clicking OK. The truss parts are stretched to the shape of the roof using the shape of the truss volume.

   

Note

• If you change the dimensions or slope of the roof and update the shape of the truss volumes, the truss parts are updated.
• Alternatively, you can delete and re-add the truss parts.
