Shop Drawing Configuration
Truss+ will collect all elements from a truss and make an assembly with predefined views, add dimensions, add tags, make sheets, and put the views into the sheets
• Select Shop Drawing Configuration function directly from Truss+ menu
The basic shop drawing workflow consists of the following steps:
Truss+ → define Drawing Configuration
Truss+ → make shop drawings for one or multiple trusses using Create Assembly
Truss+ → number the framing members using Sort Trusses
Drag shop drawing views onto the sheet for one assembly and save it as a sheet template
Truss+ → make shop drawings for other truss segments
Truss+ → update shop drawings if any changes have been made to the mode
Configurations can be saved, duplicated, renamed, and deleted
You can check the location of configurations under Current Configuration Location:

EXPORT TO CNC
Trusses created with Truss+ may be exported for production to various CNC machines or CAD/CAM production lines. Optional CNC export eliminates duplicate work and reduces the margin of error. It is a major advantage for integrated workflow.
