Hello, I'm relatively new with Revit. I've been working with the truss builder but I can't seem to get the webbing to connect with the chords. I've attached an image of what it looks like. I'm sure I'm missing some elementary setting. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

"I've been working with the truss builder " Do you mean you are just creating a truss in the project using a loaded revit family or did you create your own truss family?  If you are using a Revit truss you will not be able to get the look that you are seeking.  The webs just don't miter to the top and bottom chords for some reason.  You would have to create your own family to get that look.

I created my own truss family. Would the structural framing material be a reason it doesn't miter together? I really just want a clean looking truss to bring the project into 3ds max to render.
