Trusses

[Rik756]

Hey all, I am building a cabin in the woods and this program has been AMAZING at helping me design it.

I will have an open ceiling roof with metal trusses. However, I cannot find any models for trusses to import. I found a tutorial on how to make one but haven't had much luck.

Does anyone know where to download some? And yes, I tried search first. The only link I found was dead.

Thank you,
Rick

Did you search the Sketchup website...?

Are the trusses an off-the-shelf prefab product?
One web page tells me there are 24 different common types of trusses.
It might be a useful thing to have available so I might make one up for you if can provide some specifications. Things like truss type, distance between bearing points, roof pitch, chord lengths, material types and dimensions would be handy.
