Hello, I have two questions about the structural truss.

Question 1:If I make a structural truss with revit, I see the connections between the diagonal and vertical webs with the top and bottom chords are separately (see nr. 1). It also happens when I have coped them (see nr 2). I have set the distance of "cutback" to 0, but it changes nothing.

How can I ensure that the connections between these components are really close (read no space between the chords and webs of truss)?

Question 2 :Why don't the diagonal webs walk fully into the connection with the structural truss (see nr 1)?  How can I make sure that the diagonal webs walk further in the truss?

I don't think you are going to get the look you are trying to acheive.  The trusses in Revit arent the best looking when it comes to the webs of the truss meeting the top and bottom chords.
