Load Families

→ Select Load Roof/Floor Truss Types directly from Truss+ menu

• The command loads truss system grids, structural trusses and other structural framing families into the project.

• The command loads sample schedules into the project.

• Mark Definition Schedules allow to predefine or edit marking of elements at any time.

• To avoid this time-consuming operation, the user can save file as a template after loading families.

• Visibility settings depend on Detail Level.

• Other schedules can be used for scheduling trusses and structural framing elements in standard view and assembly views.

• Those sample schedules can be used as templates for truss assembly schedules.

You can find the families in Project Browser → Families under Structural Framing, Structural Connections, Annotation Symbols and Generic Models categories.

The command Load Truss Types loads:

• Truss System Grids

• Structural Trusses

• Nested Structural Framing families of Truss System Grids

• Structural Framing families of Truss Webs and Chords.

• Structural Framing families of Rafters
