Draw the side view of the truss as a complex profile and apply it to a beam. Then make a complex profile of multiple triangular shapes and apply to a column of similar dimensions as original profiles beam.<BR /> <BR /> Then intersect the two objects. Perform a subtraction seo with column as operator and voila.<BR /><IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/19951iA87F74EE49B21971/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" border="0" alt="arched truss.jpg" title="arched truss.jpg" /> Fri, 11 Mar 2011 21:50:09 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Question-related-to-complex-truss/m-p/188037#M101942 NCornia 2011-03-11T21:50:09Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Question-related-to-complex-truss/m-p/188038#M101943 @laszlonagy<BR /> i do not have the file it is image that i want to imitate it in archicad design<BR /> <BR /> @NCornia <BR /> Thanks, I am hardly able to apply the explanation i will be grateful if you was able to provide a video by steps done thanks again Sat, 12 Mar 2011 08:17:58 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Question-related-to-complex-truss/m-p/188038#M101943 Anonymous 2011-03-12T08:17:58Z
