Place Structural Framing Tags on a Truss

Place structural framing tags along truss elements in place of truss tags.

Structural framing tags align parallel at the top center of the created truss chords and webs.

  1. While pressing Ctrl, select each chord and web in the truss.
  2. Click Annotate tabTag panel (Tag All).
  3. In the Tag All not Tagged dialog, select Only selected objects in the current view.
  4. Click a structural framing tag category for the truss elements.
  5. Click OK.

    The structural framing tags are placed. Click and reposition tags if needed.

  6. To ensure new webs are tagged if the truss is edited, specify the Tag new members property for the truss. On the Properties palette, under Identity Data, select None or a parallel elevation view from the Tag new members in view drop-down.

    The selection will place tags for future members of the tags in a specific elevation.
