DESIGN MY OWN TRUSSES HOW TO

This takes time, and in production, time is money. One of the problems of performing this work process through MiTek 20/20 or any of the other programs is that the designer has to reproduce the architectural footprint of the structure along with the roof and ceiling planes. When this is complete, they send it to the shop for manufacturing.ДЇigure 1: In this figure we see the walls with the overhangs placed in MiTek E-frame.ДЇigure 2: In this figure we see the roof planed in on the walls.ДЇigure 3: A 3D look at the roof plan of a simple hip roof.ДЇigure 4: The trusses are inserted using the roof planes to shape the profile of the truss.ДЇigure 5: A 3D look at the roof trusses for this hip roof. Next, the manufacturer exports the truss to the engineering side of the MiTek 20/20 program where they check loading and optimize the truss webbing, size the 2x members according to span and loading, and generate the plate for the truss. The truss manufacturer then needs to reproduce the footprint of the structure and place the roof and ceiling planes on top of it.ДЇrom there the manufacturer produces the truss layout by placing the trusses in the most efficient positions. The traditional process is one where the engineer/architect or the builder will submit a set of architectural drawings to the truss manufacturer for production.

For this article I will focus on a comparison of MiTek 20/20 and AutodeskВ® RevitВ® plus an extension from tools4revit called Truss+.Д«efore we review how to lay out and design trusses in Revit, letвЂ™s take a quick look at the workflow process in MiTek 20/20. IвЂ™m familiar with MiTek 20/20, having used it for more than five years. Three popular truss layout and design programs in use today are MiTek 20/20, Alpine, and Key Frame.
