But now I see the truss gets generated using my 2D line drawing as centers. I would prefer it if my 2D drawing is used as the outside lines of the truss, any way to change that?<BR /> <BR /> Thanks,<BR /> Henry</T></DIV> Wed, 06 Jun 2007 08:59:13 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Trussmaker/m-p/67061#M34212 Anonymous 2007-06-06T08:59:13Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Trussmaker/m-p/67062#M34213 No. You have to draw the lines to the centers of all members of the truss. I sometimes draw the truss outline with a fill to help as a guide.
