Roof truss calculations

September 8, 2012, 01:25 PM

Hi All

New at this game but I would like to ask the best way, if possible, (other than pen and paper) to do simple roof truss calculation with Revit Architecture 2012. It is a simple gable roof on a pergola.

Yes, I am sure that this has been asked but I have not seen a good answer for it in on Google University.......:laugh:

Not quite sure what you are after.
Calculactions for what part of the truss.
