Truss Configuration Requirements
Truss Configuration RequirementsA great deal of flexibility is incorporated in the Spotlight truss object. However, in order to create a valid truss, the wide variety of configurations leads to certain restrictions in the application of truss properties.
If a truss is drawn that does not meet these requirements, an alert message is generated.
● The width and height of the truss must be greater than three times the chord width
● The truss hanging angle must be between -90° and +90°
● A triangular truss must form a valid triangle
● The chord diameter must be greater than zero
● A pre-rigged truss cannot have lacing
● A pre-rigged truss cannot be folding
● Only box trusses can be pre-rigged
● A folding truss cannot have top lacing
● Folding is not allowed on a stacking truss
● Top lacing is not allowed on a stacking truss
● The top brace diameter must be less than or equal to the chord width
● The side brace diameter must be less than or equal to the chord width
● The connection interval must be greater than the ladder bar spacing
● Ladder bar spacing must be greater than three times the top brace size
● If the section is too small, lacing may not be drawn
