5.3 Creating Bounding Work Lines & Truss Runs

Description

This module demonstrates how to use Bounding Work Lines to streamline Truss Envelope creation using truss runs to insert multiple trusses with varying spans, profiles and orientations.

Objectives

• Explain how defining a Work Line segment as "Bounding" streamlines truss placement.

• Explain how using the Envelope Spacing field can assist with truss placement for step-down hip systems to keep trusses on-layout.

• Describe the workflow for creating a truss run from an existing truss.

• Use Duplicate and Move to create a new truss based on an existing truss.

• Modify overhang length for a selected truss envelope to fine-tune after insertion.
