Copy a Truss Shape

Copy the shape of a selected truss to one or more target trusses. In addition to the shape, you can also choose to copy the position of truss supports or the truss members. The target truss and the source truss must be parallel. The trusses can belong to different truss areas, but the truss areas must be at the same height level. Their geometry can be different, but the shape of the truss to be copied must be suitable for the target truss area.

1. Select the truss whose shape you wish to copy.
2. Select Truss | Truss | Copy Shape.
3. Select one or more of the following options as the copying method from the contextual toolbar:
   • Copy shape
   • Copy supports
   • Copy parts
4. Select the target trusses, to which you want to copy the shape. Select several trusses with the Ctrl key pressed down. Select all trusses by pressing Ctrl+A.
5. Select Confirm.
6. If the geometry of the source truss does not match the geometry of the target truss, you will be prompted to click the start point of the target truss. The starting point is the left edge in the viewing direction of the source truss.
