About this asset

This Fink timber roof truss is a native Revit family designed for structural roof framing applications in residential projects. The Fink timber roof truss features a standard W-shaped internal web configuration, providing efficient load distribution for pitched roof assemblies. The assembly consists of a top chord, a bottom chord, and a series of diagonal web members joined at precise angles to create a stable, triangular profile. The geometry is clean and simplified, intended for clear representation in structural plans and sections. The members are represented as solid, uniform linear elements, suitable for defining the primary structural skeleton of a roof system while maintaining a manageable file size for complex building models.

The download is a 184 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 loaded into the project environment as a structural framing component. Users can place the truss along grid lines or reference planes, adjusting the span and pitch to align with the specific building geometry. Parameters allow for the adjustment of member sizes to match project-specific timber dimensions.

This truss is essential for residential and small-scale industrial roof design, particularly where clear-span timber construction is required. It is commonly used in attic conversions, detached garages, and standard pitched-roof housing developments. Architects and structural engineers will use this asset during the schematic design and construction documentation phases to define roof profiles and structural integrity. It pairs well with generic purlin and rafter systems, providing a reliable foundation for modelling roof decking, insulation, and finish roofing materials in BIM workflows.
