Timber Trusses (with SketchUp)

I only just recently realized that many Chief users are importing SketchUp geometry into CA and so I thought it might be worth your while to take a look at the Medeek Truss extension for SketchUp.  I think the feature that would be of primary interest to a CA user would be the Timber Truss tool.  Please take a look at the tutorial video below for more information:

In addition to timber trusses there are other MPC truss types that may not be typical, for example the bow barrel truss:

I'm also curious if Chief can handle attic trusses?

Here is an example of an agri building I modeled up in about 5 minutes.  The tractor was just inserted into the model to help indicate the scale of the structure.
