I am using Revit 2013 and would like to make a 2 x 4 wood truss with an arched top, shown in attachment. I am OK modeling in place, but if I use an extrusion, I can't include the webs. Is there a parametric family made of wood members available? All my families are composed of steel.

Why cant you include the webs if you do it with an extrusion? Finding a GOOD parametric truss family will be nearly impossible, at least I haven't. I usually just create my own trusses to the sizes they actually need to be.

Well if I try to model anything that is not a closed loop I get an error message. Do I model separate components and group them? I am using model in Place and sketching a path then sweep or extrusion. Thanks for your help!

You can do a truss that is a closed loop, look at my attachment in my previous post. It is done as a simple extrusion. You do not need to use a sweep to accomplish this. You can and if you have more than one truss SHOULD create this as a family and insert it into your project. If you create it as a family you can still create it as one extrision or many different ones if you wish.
