Hi there,
Currently running Revit 2016 on Windows 10.
Can't seem to find my answer anywhere, so I'm asking here. I have a 3D Truss family which we use for projects mainly to save time drawing them up in sections, etc.
My question is, if this is a structural member, why can't I assign this family to be a "Structural Truss" but only as a "Structural Framing" element. It's just confusing people in the office when they go to add the truss into the project & instead of clicking on the "Structural" tab > "Truss", they have to click on the "Structural" tab > "Beam"
I have checked the properties in the family & I can't find where I can actually assign that family to be a "Structural Truss" family. I've checked the loading procedure too and the family file types do not differ either.
Is the fix that I need to create a new family in a different manner? Or is it a property which I haven't thought of that needs to be changed.
Thanks in advance.

i think the only way that could happen that your family doesn't fall under structrual trusses category , i think you will have to recreate your family under structural trusses template

Thanks for that, I thought that would be the case. Just wasn't sure if there was an easier fix.

just keep using it as a beam would be the best way :D

Is it better to keep it as a beam for project management? Or Revit properties?
