ACADuser Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Roof trusses build OK. For some reason I can not build a floor truss on this plan. I must be missing something simple. Lenhart BK.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 You've tried to "draw" one? Manually? There is no auto-frame function that does trusses, roof or floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Yes sir. See the message I get using "Floor/Ceiling Truss" tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Alan, Your problem is that the material you're using for your floor structure (Pine 1) is not a Framing material. There are a few ways you could change this, but here's one... Open your Floor Structure Definition dbx, select that Pine 1 layer, click Select Material, click Plan Materials, click Edit, and then change the Material Type from "Area" to "Framing". Then probably set your Floor Structure type to "Lumber" (although that is not necessary to get your trusses working). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Oh man you nailed it. I may have done this before, just hard to remember all the gotchas. I'm back at it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
