Is there an option in RSA, example 2 bars to be connected as 1?

the first one, got the answer

thanks

Can you please show step by step what changes did you do to the 3d model,

I see, you applied pinned-pinned releases to the purlins, what else?

The chords must be continuous or use partial releases, but I don't see in the model you applied partial releases to the chords!!

No, actually they were already defined in the model you sent

The chords must be continuous

therefore I deleted truss bar attribute from them

or use partial releases, but I don't see in the model you applied partial releases to the chords!!

That was just the suggestion which you can take or reject. This depends on the expected behavior of the truss node connections and  the final decision is in your hand.
