Bowstring Roof Truss
Before I model this bowstring roof truss manually using Structural Member objects (as I've always done in the past), is there a parametric way of creating the entire bowstring roof truss?
I tried the Roof Trusses PIO at: http://www.vectordepot.com/older_plug-ins.html (screenshot attached).
Not a big deal--just curious if anyone has come up with a pro way of doing this. These roofs are pretty common in Los Angeles, so this won't be the last time...
@Wes Gardner would the recommendation be to use the Structural Member tool, the Framing Member tool, or a combination of both?
I'm thinking the SM tool for the vertical and horizontal members, and the FM tool for the diags:
I may use the bottom chord for rigging, so the SM object will work great for that
FM objects can't go to 90º vert, so SM for the those
Even when I turn off auto-join in the SM tool mode, SM objects will still auto join later when I move / resei
