* 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
