Truss Details

When you draw the first truss, the program automatically creates a CAD detail named Truss Detail. Open the Truss Detail by selecting CAD> CAD Detail Management and selecting it from the list.

All the trusses used in your plan are displayed in the Truss Detail. If several trusses are identical, only one diagram is drawn. The label at the lower left of the diagram gives a number that designates this truss ty pe in floor plan view and in the Materials List. The quantity of each type is also listed.

Note: The Truss Detail is for display of trusses only. Editing the members that make up the trusses in the Truss Detail is not recommended.

To restore an edited Truss Detail
  1. Delete any new members you have drawn in the detail view.
  2. In floor plan view, select the truss and click the Open Object edit button to open the Roof Truss Specification dialog.
  3. Click OK and the truss regenerates along with its Truss Detail diagram.
