Possibly: use space frame object in library.
Can't remember where it is in the Archicad 9 release... is in Spaceframes for version 12.
Otherwise, a tedious assembly of tilted cylinders — best made in short modules for ease of length changes.

If you prefer you could use the beam tool with a round complex profile.

These features also work in sections/elevation, and it provides tools for working on assemblies in more than one plane. There are numerous examples in other posts.
In very general terms, could someone please describe how one models a three-dimensional truss -- commonly known as a space frame -- with AC 9
