ROOF TRUSSES IN REVIT (How to Model Gable roof trusses in Revit)

Instead of using detail lines to draw your roof members in every single section view, you can actually model them. That way, you get to cut as many sections as you want, easily adjust and schedule them (if you can schedule an information, it means you can do design computations with it and also export it).
Revit is all about building information, doing this will enable you access to additional information about your roof members, this information can come in handy during construction, calculation of quantities and even for representation purposes.
In this video, I will not only show you how you can model roof trusses, but I will also introduce you to the parts, then you will learn how to edit them, change the structural framing types using the type editor, adjust the Webs and the cords, change the structural framing type using the type selector, adjust the position of the Cords, array the structural members and final you will learn how to model the purlin using the beam system.
