I am facing a problem. After running my Dynamo script I get a truss but this truss is not exactly what I am looking for. I would like to cut the diagonal and vertical beams in this truss because they’re too long.
Normally speaking I would create a reference plane and then I would cut the object in question by using the reference plane.
anybody knows how to tackle this problem by using Dynamo so that the beams have the right length?
For reference I will share a pic of what the desirable output would look like.
Quick thought:
How about to calculate the members slope then insert it in equation to offset centerline of the upper and lower HZ members by this calculated value then intersect the diagonals and verticals with those offsets geometry to get the new exact location of diagonals and vertical members.
I happened to come across this Topic, and I was wondering if it is not also possible to just manually make the trusses neatly using the BuiltIn Revit methods. Such as the “Cope” tool.
Try separating your beam creation in to separate transactions. Have tried putting in the diagonals and then your horizontal with a transaction.end between them?
