Error Creating Truss Family

I am creating a truss family. Everything seems to be working fine when checking different values for the parameters, except for when I add the reference line for the web highlighted below. After I add this line, I get the following error message: “Line is slightly off axis and may cause inaccuracies”. Can anyone guide me on where to look on how to correct this?

Generally you don't need to worry about this, its just saying that the angle is ever so slightly off what Revit considers as acceptable (for instance 45.1 instead of 45) rarely actually causes problems. Curious, why are you using reference lines instead of the built in Truss family elements (Chord, Web)? Or is this a custom parametric family and not a Truss family?

Thank you. I re-did what I had originally inputted and the error message has disappeared. I got here by following a YouTube video tutorial on how to create a custom parametric truss. After I understand that, I figure I can simply it and create a simple parametric rafter family. I am new to this!

 

Thanks again for your help - Phil
