Open a Truss Drawing

Framer

You can open a truss drawing to a separate drawing window either by selecting a truss in the floor plan, or by double-clicking a truss label in the project document browser. A truss drawing is generated for the first time by using the Generate Truss Drawings function.

  1. Select one or more trusses with a label.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Select Truss | Panel | Open Drawing.
    • Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu, and select Open Panel Drawing.

You can recognize an edited truss from the asterisk (*) at the end of the truss label in the layout drawing.

Open a Truss Drawing from the Project Document Browser

  1. Open the branch Structural drawings / Trusses.
  2. Double-click a truss label.

Note

    1. Select > Preferences Drawings, Models.
    2. Select the View tab.
    3. Select or clear Drawing: Show Detail View Limits.
