Truss Family Enhancements - Truss Gusset Web Connections

Truss Family Enhancements - Truss Gusset Web Connections

Issue: Truss use gusset plates at the connection of the web members to the top and bottom chords of the truss. These gussets can become very big and create coordination conflicts with other diciplines who need to route utilities through the truss space. There is currently no way to add additional members to the truss family to model these accurately or to create a no fly zone collission element where the truss connection is. Because of this, any design over LOD300 cannot use the OTB truss family as part of the model.

 

Solution: Allow connection components to be inserted into the truss

I was just reading my original post on this topic. In it, I had indicated that Trusses can't be used for anything over LOD300. It's been several years since this post was made (2016). I have a much better understanding of LOD now. Revit trusses can't effectively be used for anything over LOD200. This is attributed to the inability to assign accurate web members along the truss which is required for an LOD300 design. We are constantly telling our clients that the trusses will only represent the largest web members for clashing, and that we can't do accurate quantity take offs on our trusses.

 

Sad, sad, sad. @kimberly_fuhrman-jones , Autodesk continues to ignore the needs of the community it develops software for. Our biggest client has already made the decision to stop using Revit because of it. They are moving to "Intergraph - Smart 3D". Which means we are too. hopefully they will be more responsive than Autodesk when it comes to suggestions that would improve the software that we use daily.
