Shop Drawing Configuration

Truss+ will collect all elements from a truss and make an assembly with predefined views, add dimensions, add tags, make sheets, and put the views into the sheets

• Select Shop Drawing Configuration function directly from Truss+ menu

The basic shop drawing workflow consists of the following steps:

1. Truss+ → define Drawing Configuration

2. Truss+ → make shop drawings for one or multiple trusses using Create Assembly

3. Truss+ → number the framing members using Sort Trusses

4. Drag shop drawing views onto the sheet for one assembly and save it as a sheet template

5. Truss+ → make shop drawings for other truss segments

6. Truss+ → update shop drawings if any changes have been made to the mode

• Configurations can be saved, duplicated, renamed, and deleted

• You can check the location of configurations under Current Configuration Location:

• Shop Drawing Configuration allows to set up and modify assembly views, schedules, and sheets respectively.

• Select, add or modify Views that must be created for truss assembly

• Select corresponding View Templates

• Select tag type for tagging of truss members - structural framing elements

• Select Title block, Part list and Material Takeoff templates

• Create new view

• Duplicate view

• Delete view

• Move up view

• Move down view

EXPORT TO CNC

Trusses created with Truss+ may be exported for production to various CNC machines or CAD/CAM production lines. Optional CNC export eliminates duplicate work and reduces the margin of error. It is a major advantage for integrated workflow.
