Manual Truss Editing

[RBSdrafter]

Does anyone know if their is a way to manually edit webs in the truss detail view. From what I can tell, they do not behave like most poly-line objects(such as adding break points, changing the profile, etc.).

Yes, unlock the "Framing, Roof Trusses" layer and edit away.

These tools worked well, but I am still unable to shape the web in order to fit in the corner between the bottom chord and kingpost.

Like in the pictures, every time I extend or cut the web to reach these members, it extends past the border of one or the other.

Perhaps I don't understand the behavior of roof truss framing members well enough.

Hello,

 

I misspoke.  I was using that tool to create piggybacks last week.  Here's a link to a video of what you need to do using the clip tool.  To snap to the compound shape you just need to select both members then trim the desired member to both in one click.  The extend tool works similarly.

The video was too large to upload.
