About this asset

This traditional king-post timber truss roof is a Revit family featuring exposed wooden members for structural roof framing applications. The Capriata is a classic king-post timber truss designed for visible roof framing in traditional or rustic architectural contexts. It consists of a top chord, a bottom chord, and a central king-post, all rendered with a realistic dark wood finish. The geometry is clean and linear, reflecting standard carpentry techniques used in historical or vernacular buildings. The structure is depicted as a series of repeated elements spaced along the roof plane, providing a realistic representation of a timber-framed roof system suitable for both interior ceiling views and architectural exterior visualisations.

The download is a 492 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 should be loaded into the structural framing category to allow for proper analytical modelling and scheduling. Users can place the truss along reference lines or grid intersections, adjusting the span and pitch to match the roof geometry. The family supports standard visibility settings, allowing for control over detail levels in plan, section, and 3D views, ensuring that the timber members appear correctly in both schematic and construction documentation packages.

This timber truss is ideal for the restoration of historic buildings, barn conversions, or new residential projects seeking a traditional aesthetic. Architects and structural engineers can use this asset for detailed roof framing plans and high-quality renderings where the structural skeleton is exposed. It pairs well with other timber elements, such as exposed beams, rafters, or ceiling cladding. Professionals searching for roof structures, timber framing, or traditional building components will find this family essential for accurate structural modelling and interior design coordination.
