How to create a bespoke Revit Truss Family

Hello there. I trust you are well.

Today, I’m going to look at the truss model that have been started modelling by one of our Senior Technician and some issues I found in this model was the way it was created and not connecting at the same node.

To make sure that intersection connects to the same node, I decided to remodel all the trusses and replace it with the Revit Truss Family.

Here is the video demonstration of how to create a bespoke Revit Truss Family.

Any questions, please drop it at the comments sections.

Thank you for watching and have a great day. Keep safe.

Should I use a third-party Revit plugin?

Hello there. I trust you are well.

Recently, I was preparing some schedules (from one of my projects) that I’ll be using for my Power BI data visualisations. It so happened that the first part of it was done without the use of a third-party plugin (because it was not installed yet on my machine). I was talking about the Ideate Revit plugin that our company has a license to use. I would like to try the one DiRoots Revit Plugin but I need to ask for our IT’s permission to have that software installed. I ended up waiting for the Ideate one to get installed.

The next day, I did a quick video comparison of the same project; one without the plugin way and the other with the use of a third-party plugin. Any third-party plugins are developed for the purpose of making your life easier and save you some time in doing repetitive jobs.

Have a great day. Cheers.
