Decorative Craftsman Style Timber Roof Truss

This decorative timber roof truss is a native Revit family featuring a classic Craftsman gable design for exterior building elevations. This decorative timber truss is designed for gable-end applications, characteristic of traditional Craftsman architecture. It features a robust, angular frame with a central vertical post and two diagonal struts, creating a distinct triangular geometry that sits beneath the roofline. The form is clean and structural in appearance, intended to provide visual weight and period-appropriate detail to a building facade. The proportions are balanced to suit standard residential entryways or gable roof pitches. It is modelled as a solid timber component, providing a realistic representation of exposed wooden rafters typically found in historic or revival-style homes.

The download is a 543 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family is intended to be placed in an elevation or section view, or hosted directly onto a roof gable or wall surface. Users should ensure the family is loaded into the project environment and aligned with the roof pitch. It is best managed by assigning it to a specific subcategory within the model to allow for easy visibility control in different view templates. The material parameters should be mapped to project-wide wood finishes to maintain consistency across the entire building model.
