Not sure which version of of ARCHICAD you are using, but you can model your truss using the standard beam tool and objects. Make a custom beam profile for the purlins.<BR /> You could also make each element a custom profile.<BR /> Make one truss and then select all and use the multiply tool to spread the trusses at the correct spacing.
