How to input and modify roof framing parameters with Truss+...

A special 3D Truss System Grid was created for for this process. This tool helps to work and frame roof hips, gables, barn ends, “L” returns and valley sets very easy.

You just have to select the roof and its boundary lines to define which end of the roof you want to frame at this moment. Choose framing type (Step Down, Terminal, Midwest, California, etc.), modify truss distribution parameters (if it’s needed) and then you will get 3D Truss System Grid in the correct place. You can check and modify 3D Grid basic parameters incl. Jack distribution configuration.

Truss Database Manager helps to edit or create new types of parametrical wood trusses “4t4r” quickly with one click for all categories: common (incl. “Room in Roof”), gable, hip, valley... The configurator of Truss Design Settings includes Jack Expert and other functions for designation the right type of truss at the right place. As well, you can configure type-span-panel related parameters for common, truncated, gable, attic, mono pitch, valley, girder, hips and jack trusses.
 
 

Tens of trusses will be automatically generated by 3D Truss Generator in several minutes (one truss per 2-3 sec.). There are included functions for truss type modifying, truss auto-copying and truss ends cutting.

Flexible scheduling technology is introduced in Truss+ software.  It allows quickly define how mark and sort different roof framing members and elements like truss webs and chords.  Sort function groups, sorts and numbers framing members and elements according predefined solutions. Main types of schedules as examples are included with software installation.
