    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Truss Depth&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Issue: Trusses are always detailed with a truss height defined. Currently when using the truss family template the top and bottom chords are located by there center of gravity/Center "y" location. Hence the height of the truss varies depending on the size of the top and bottom chord members See below&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" style="width: 700px;"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="lia-message-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;IMG width="700" title="Truss Depth.JPG" class="lia-media-image ng-scope ng-isolate-scope" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/168013i966238F4BDCEB1C7/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="Truss Depth.JPG" /&gt;&lt;SPAN class="lia-messages-message-image ng-scope"&gt; &lt;!-- ngIf: link --&gt;&lt;I class="lia-fa lia-fa-search-plus lia-media-lightbox-trigger"&gt;&lt;/I&gt; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As you can see, there is a WT bottom chord and a Wide Flange Top chord. each has different depths, while the center to center of these members is 10'-0" the Out to out size is different.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The only way to fix this is to&amp;nbsp;look up&amp;nbsp;the different sizes of the top and bottom chord and subtract half of their depth from the truss depth. While this works it is not ideal. The truss depth has to vary from truss type to truss type depending on the sizes used. when chord sizes vary by small fractions of an inch, truss depths become in accurate. Out to Out of truss is what is important when modeling, not analytical location to analytical location.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Suggestion: Allow the graphical location of the element being used as a top or bottom chord be defined as top or bottom. Currently only the analytical location can be defined.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Another issue related to this,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When connecting a beam / purlin, bottom chord strut etc&amp;nbsp;to the truss. the beams snap to the analytical line of the truss not to the top or bottom of the truss chord members. you can overcome this by selecting the element of truss (top or bottom chord), un pinning, and setting justification to the top/bottom. problem with this is, that the geometry of the truss changes. The web members of the truss are set by the intersections of their center of gravity/ center not the top and bottom. Hence changing the top and bottom chord offsets of top and bottom chord members moves the locations of the connected web members creating conflict resolution and fabrication / detailing&amp;nbsp;problems.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
