Truss - Dimensions tab
Used to set type and layout of a truss.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | Sets the type of truss from different variations of
the framework. The
Type-1..Type-4 options define the
layout (parallel or alternating diagonals with or without intermediate studs).
|
| Layout |
Sets the side the bracing has to be carried out.
|
| Length | Sets the complete length of the girder of the truss. |
| Height | Sets the height of the girder from bottom edge of lower cord up to intersection of upper edges of upper cords in the middle (top of roof ridge). |
| Roof angle | Sets the side angle of truss that adds roof slope of upper cord. |
| Side height | Sets the height of the girder from bottom edge of lower cord up to upper edge of upper cord measured on the sides. This value remains constant, while the value in the height filed can change if you adjust the pitch of the roof and vice versa. |
| Outer distance | Sets the distance of the axis of any existing intermediary studs at the rim of the roof truss outer edge (represented with the object frame). The distance of the connection shape to the end. |
| Inner distance | The distance of the axis of any existing intermediary studs in the center of the roof truss centerline. The distance of the inner connection shape to the center. |
| Segment distance | Sets the distance of the segments of the truss girder (spacing of the girder junctions with parallel diagonals). |
| Segment count | Sets the number of inner vertical beams used as truss girder segments. |
| Plate width | The spacing of the shapes in the depth. For example, upper and lower cords are generated from two side-by-side (U-shaped) shapes. |
| Front side shapes centered | When checked, centers the front side shapes of the truss. |
| Back shapes centered | When checked, centers the back side shapes of the truss. |
| Dynamic | When checked, updates the changes to the truss dynamically in the view. |
