Roof Properties

[cbiddulph]

I was wondering how can I show in building sections that the roof structure is , for instance a flat bottom truss, and not a generic rafter structure. In roof properties on the modeling tab there is no choice of trusses I am referring to.

You have to place the structure. typically I will start in schematics with a generic roof assembly with a guess at the struct. thickness. then I will change that roof to delete the structure thickness and just have the decking, insul, etc. Now I place my structural members in a reflected ceiling plan(ie bar joists) then array, etc until they are all in, then my sections look right in every veiw.
