    Default Trusses in Revit Structure

    I think that Truss Tool needs some work. One is that you should be able to attach the top chord to a floor not just a roof. I am not sure why you can only attach a truss to an architectural element, and not a structural element.

    It would also be nice to be able to set the out to out distance of a truss currently right now members are defined by the center of the member. So if I place a truss with a floor on top of it I have to offset the top chord half the distance of the member, and if that member changes I have to remember to go back and change the offset of the truss.

    Also I have posted this before, but you can't have different top and bottom chords. If you make any modifications to the truss they will reset themselves to be the same length.

    Since we know have the extension for analyzing trusses it would be nice to be able to model trusses with the truss tool.
