* Select default truss type to use it when creating new truss family with Truss Builder
* Maximal length of bottom chord for Truss Builder. When creating new truss family by model line which is longer – bottomchord will be split in two tiles
* Optimal value of ‘Max overhang search distance’ parameter allows inserting trusses inside a building without overhang.

Value must be a little higher then maximal length of overhang in current project

* Use Recalculate Bottom Chord when creating new wood truss family with Truss Builder
