About this asset

This Revit family provides a scissor-style long span timber truss designed for efficient roof framing in complex architectural projects. The scissor truss features a distinct angled lower chord that creates a vaulted ceiling profile, ideal for maximising internal volume without increasing wall height. The geometry consists of a top chord, a bottom chord, and a series of vertical and diagonal web members that distribute structural loads effectively. Designed for long-span applications, this component maintains a consistent timber member profile throughout the assembly. The clean, linear lines of the truss allow for exposed applications in rustic or contemporary interiors where structural honesty is a key design feature. It is a robust, functional framing element.

The download is a 102 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.

Load this family into your Revit project as a structural framing component. Use the family parameters to adjust the span and pitch to align with your roof slope requirements. Ensure that the placement is hosted correctly to your structural grid or reference lines. You can assign specific timber material properties to the individual members within the family editor to coordinate with your project's material schedule and ensure accurate quantity take-offs for structural wood components.

This truss is suitable for residential roof designs, vaulted ceilings in commercial spaces, and large-span industrial buildings. Architects and structural engineers use it when a high-pitched aesthetic is required for interior volume, often pairing it with timber decking or exposed rafters. It is a standard choice for barn-style conversions, modern farmhouse projects, and open-plan lodge designs. Search for this asset when modelling complex roof geometries, timber structural systems, or when specifying exposed framing for high-ceiling architectural design applications.
