    Welcome to the forums.
    The quick answer is yes. But you certainly won't find a truss configuration that you need when you open Revit for the first time. With some experience in the family editor you can create what you need.
    When you refer to a space truss structure are you talking about the perimeter framing at the roof or a space frame support structure on the interior?

    The short answer is the truss tool might help, but I tend to find it more of a hindrance than anything else. I've tended to do most of my truss work by hand, one off individual pieces. I'm not sure that's going to work so well for this case.
    You might want to look at using adaptive components. Dynamo would be the other option if you're good at programing.

    I did find this webpage doing a quick search. There's a few others out there as well.

    Hope this helps.
