About this asset

King post truss structural framing for Revit, providing a standard triangular roof support assembly for structural engineering models. This king post truss assembly features a classic triangular configuration, consisting of a horizontal bottom chord, a sloped top chord, and a central vertical king post connecting the apex to the bottom chord. The form is clean and functional, intended for structural skeleton modeling. It represents a standard load-bearing arrangement suitable for simple roof spans. The geometry is simplified for clear plan and elevation documentation within a BIM environment, focusing on the primary structural members rather than complex connection detailing, making it an efficient choice for early-stage design and structural coordination.

The download is a 82 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, load this family into your project and host it within a roof or structural framing plan. Use the alignment tools to snap the truss members to your grid lines or structural axes. Since this is a standard family, you can adjust the span and pitch if the parameters allow, or use it as a reference for structural analysis. Ensure the material parameters are mapped to your project steel standards for accurate scheduling and quantity take-offs.

This component is essential for residential roof framing, small-scale industrial sheds, and garage structures where a king post design provides sufficient support. It is commonly utilized by structural engineers and architects during the schematic design and design development phases to define roof profiles and load paths. Professionals working on timber-framed or steel-framed buildings will find this useful for quick layout iterations. Search for this when developing roof sections or when coordinating structural framing plans for simple pitched roof geometries.
