Hello all, I can't seem to figure out how to create one or find a parametric roof trus that has a heel to it, seems like the only ones online are without the heel (bottom cord attaches to top cord.  Does anyone know any good tutorials or have a sample family that I can study to see how to create one of these, your help would be appreciated.

 Cheers,

Please see the attached jpg the top image shows a truss with a heel for the flow of air over the insulation and the lower picture is the typical truss that you would find on this site.  Let me know how your challenge goes.

Cheers,

We use Revit Architecture here.  Thanks for taking the time to have a look at it, I'm still trying to work it out I'm close but haven't quite got it figured out yet.

 Thanks again,

Cheers

Here is what I have so far, everything works great until you change the pitch of the roof, once the pitch is changed the webs do not stay tied to the top cord....any ideas?
