- In this video we take a look at some of the fundamental elements inside a Revit truss family and how to create them inside of the Family Editor. Truss may look intimidating, but after you draw a couple they are a really powerful addition to your model!
You are such blessed professional, i learned much into this family, i tried it with the curved top cords its awesome, thanks Van
Awesome video. Thank you so much! Nothing missed and easy to follow.
Great!Hello there, For me your topic was very informative for professionals and students were we can put it in practice disclosing the secret of REVITS, I'm very happy for some one who is sharing his mastery and techniques to others, it added to my personal skills. Please, keep the good job! Thanks a lot
Thank you Travis
THANK YOU!!
thank you so much
so useful
Hi, would you please made us further tutorial about truss connection, if there are a truss family we've made earlier then how to fix the gap of the connection/joint within steel member (diagonal/vertical) to top/bottom chord?
Hey dude, it looks like you're a dude from your profile pic. If not, dudette or whatever you go by, I have no recording software, so my tutorials are on hold for the time being. What you're seeing is the cutback of the steel member for a connection. In this situation, if you have a welded connection, you need to grab the blue grips (arrows) and bring them into the connected members. You'll see they overlap and look incorrect, so you apply the 'Notch' or 'Cope' tool. It's in the Modify tab, on the far left. This will apply a Notch distance parameter, which it typically defaults to 1" or 20mm. If you want welded connections for a truss, you can create a global parameter for Notch distance, set it to 0 and then apply this value to all the instances when you are done notching all the members. Structural framing. So dope, so precise, so damn persnickity. Good luck.
Travis Van Clieaf Hi Travis... Okay, i have got the solution on my issue thru autodesk forum on earlier day. Anyway, that’s actually not me myself, the profile picture is a former comedian actor who already gone away... i just feel he’s awesome and funny to imitate bruce lee in this pose style. Lol :)
I was gonna say maybe stick with the martial arts. BIM isn't good for your waist line.
Is there a way to have an option for different top chords? For example, the middle four panels have one size top chord, and the outer have another. I've been trying to find a tutorial on Structural Framing - Complex and Trusses family template but haven't found one.
Thanks, it did help! I have another question...
I have snapped my diagonals to the end points of the vertical webs, but somehow the diagonals will still sometimes not be oriented to the correct panel point. Do you know of a way to correct this?
Actually I got it to work. Just had to keep re trying to snap it until it worked.
I do have another question. Is there a way to make the truss height be from top of top chord to bottom of bottom of bottom chord? (instead of center of top chord to center of bottom chord)
Hi. What If I want to use 2 angles, top and bottom chords? What is the way to include this type of elements
create a structural framing family using the beams and bracing rft, and create it so it has two angle profiles mirrored and sweeping the centre left/right reference plane.
@@TravisVanClieafBIM thank you
I have a truss where I have multiple bottom chord steel types. How do you define multiple types?
Yeah but how do you add multiple types inside the family? I don't think it can be done.
I'm quite new in revit how did you got all this families because I can't find them in my 2017 revit I hope you answer me , thanks for the video
The structural truss family in this video is made from it's corresponding revit family template (rft) and the families that occupy the truss rig are of Structural Framing Category. If you are working with Revit Architecture, you may not have these tools and families, but any full version of Revit should have these tools from within the media. Depending on whether you choose All Disciplines in the installation settings may have something to do with what you get as far as out of the box families. Hope this helps.
wat do you do if the 2X4 material doesn't update, it did what you said happens sometimes to you?
The softwood lumber material is not showing for your structural framing? In the project browser you should be able to expand families, find the structural framing category and locate the 2 x 4 member. Right click on that and select Type Properties, you should be able to set the material for that framing member type there.
Ok I figured out that I just Didn't set it for all the components, I was missing the top chord, also Thank you for your reply, your video helped me create a truss family for our firm. I was wondering also if there is a way to connect the members and make them look a little better, maybe even before you load the truss into your project so that it looks a little neater?
The join set backs do kind of take away from the look and realism of the component. You can remove the truss system capabilities by selecting the truss and choosing that from the ribbon options. To further connect your structural framing, you'll need to use the Coping or Notching tool located in the Geometry panel of the Modify tab. Unfortunately, the truss options are gone after, so I would do this one one and then copy a group of the notched members to create the rest of them if that's the look you need.
Maybe I should write a truss plugin for Revit: design.medeek.com/resources/medeektrussplugin.html
This seems like a lot of work to generate this geometry.
This team StrucSoft has the best one for Revit I've seen so far. I'm sure there's quite a few out there. ua-cam.com/video/AVzi4J9tRWM/v-deo.html
