Truss Database Manager allows user to create and modify truss types and their parameters.
Two ways to run Truss Database Manager:
• Select Truss Database Manager directly from Truss+ menu
• Truss Type Configuration meanings are represented in a symbolic image preview window • Parameter Angle predefines rotation angle of webs and chords
Click the button Create new type
Select new web/chord types and click the Create button
• ‘Type name’ will represent all the parameters that you set for your new truss type
• If you want to delete a truss type that doesn’t meet your regional defaults, click the Delete type button
Make sure that all truss categories (classes) have the same types
If at least one of the truss categories has less types, name of this type will contain the note “not in all families”
Three options to avoid this:
Delete that type of truss one by one from all categories using the command Delete type
Delete that type of truss from all categories with one click. Use the command Delete type
Create that type of truss in all categories using the command Create missing types
