Specifications
Generate by count The count of patterns for both slopes of the truss can be different. After selecting the option, give the values to determine the count of patterns for the left and right inclination.
Generate by length The length value is the distance between two patterns. Separate values can be given for both slopes. When create by giving length is checked, the number of patterns of the truss is found based on the truss opening. In addition, the lengths of the left and right starting eyes of the vertex can also be arranged separately. The total length is edited in the Length tab.
Patterns The patterns that can be used are listed. The desired pattern is selected by marking it.
Preview Includes a preview of the trusses. The selected type and entered values can be followed simultaneously in the preview.
