# Typical Workflow For Floor Truss
**Truss+** functionality allows to generate floor trusses. With combined workflow of **Floor+** and **Truss+** tools user produce grid layouts, trusses, assemblies and show drawings among other things. Both metal and wood can be used as structural material.
* From **Floor+** menu select **Settings** - **Load Families**
* From Truss+ menu select **Configurations** - **Load Floor Truss Types**
* Have Revit elements such as walls and floors and roofs prepared
* Select Revit floor and go to **Floor+** menu - **Link Floor**
* In the **Framing Configuration** column select **I\_Floor Truss Layout**
* Framing configurations can be changed at any time, go to **Floor+** menu - select **Framing Configurations**
* Floor truss layout configuration can be modified or duplicated (Save As) to create a new configuration
* Make sure **Main Type of Joists** have **Truss Layout Axis** family selected.
* Generally user can choose between what families should be used for producing floor truss layout. For example, for joistsTruss Layout Axis families can be chosen to produce a layout upon which Truss+ will produce floor trusses. For other structural framing members such as opening elements or rim joists - user can choose actual wood/metal framing families e.g. I\_WF Rim-Bridging Joist : LMBR 2x6.
* Select Revit floor and go to **Floor+** menu - select **Frame Floor**
* Floor truss layout is generated and spread across the floor as per configurations
* User can further **Add/Modify Elements** or use other tools to manipulate truss floor layout
* Once truss layout is in place user can start generating trusses. To do that select multiple trusses from the layout - go to**Trusses** - **Insert Roof/Floor Truss by Selected Model Line**
* In trusses type window select any floor truss from truss library
* Various types of floor trusses can be generated across a layout
* If floor trusses need to encompass a duct - choose a truss type with an opening from truss library when generating trusses
* To align truss opening with existing duct go to **Truss+** menu - **Trusses** tab - **Set Floor Truss Opening Position -** select the duct and input dimension values - select **OK**
* **Truss+** will automatically shift truss opening to where the duct clashes
* Detail can be added by selecting **Add/modify Details** from **Floor+** menu
* Detail can be configured by going to **Detail Configuration**
* To add details - select truss layout elements for which you want to add details
* Select **Add/modify Details** from **Floor+** menu
* Select **Add Detail** - choose or edit configuration and select **Add Details**
* Once floor trusses and details are in place, user can further detail the floor by adding layers of sheathing to top and bottom faces or insulation in between trusses
* Select Revit floor - go to **Link Floor** from **Floor+** menu
* Select sheathing layers to be split by sheathing configuration and have split parts / split by parameters ticked
* Select Revit floor and select **Split Parts** from **Floor+** menu
* Switch on parts visibility in Revit properties tab
* Floor truss workflow continues by calculating truss volumes, sorting trusses and structural members and creating assemblies. Access all that via **Shop Drawings** tab from **Truss+** menu
* Once trusses and structural members are sorted user can create assemblies and shop drawings
* Select a truss and go to **Shop Drawings** - **Create Assembly from Truss**
* **Truss+** is going to produce shop drawings for selected trusses automatically
* Optional **CNC Export** is available. Contact AGA CAD for further details
