8.3 Adding Horizontal Blocking for a Scissor Gable Truss (B01-GBL)

Description

This module demonstrates how to define and place horizontal blocking in a gable truss to provide ample support for perpendicular mono trusses. Additionally, this example requires member adjustment to improve plating at a ceiling peak.

Objectives

• Use trim/extend to improve joint configuration and plating.

• Determine x and y coordinates representing the locations of other trusses and subsequently add horizontal blocking using Add Member.
