Truss connections

I'm not much of an expert here... where can i find a connection for truss members (gusset plate)? non of the conections in the "general bracings" tab seem to work properly... (main issue is with the apex (top chords with web members) and the top & bottom chords at the beginning & end of the truss).

any help would be much appreciated...

we are not experts either, we struggle with you. In the past we have adjusted the location of the chords with the macro/dialouge boxes, then added and welded gussett plates manually. Make one truss as you like then copy as many as u need.

 

P.S., you may consult your engineer of record and slightly increase the weight and/or size of your members and eliminate gussetts, may be just as economical if you weigh the cost of gussett fabrication and fabrication....
