This Wood Floor Truss is a structural Revit family featuring an open-web design for efficient floor joist systems in timber buildings. The Wood Floor Truss is engineered with a continuous top and bottom chord, connected by a series of diagonal timber webs to create an open-web structural assembly. This configuration is designed to provide high load-bearing capacity while allowing for the convenient routing of MEP services between the chords. The geometry is typical of prefabricated timber floor joists, offering a lightweight yet rigid alternative to solid sawn lumber. Its proportions are suited for spanning significant distances in residential or light commercial floor systems, providing a consistent structural depth throughout the length of the truss.
The download is a 276 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.
As a structural Revit family, this item is intended for use within the Structural Framing category. Engineers can load this component into their project template and place it using the beam tool, snapping to grid lines or structural walls as required. Once placed, the truss can be arrayed to form a complete floor system. Users should assign appropriate structural materials and analytical settings within the family editor to ensure compatibility with structural calculations and load analysis workflows within the native software environment.

This truss component is essential for residential and light-commercial projects where long spans and integrated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing runs are required. It is frequently employed in floor and ceiling assemblies where the open-web design facilitates the installation of ductwork and piping without compromising structural integrity. Architects and structural engineers will find this asset useful during the design development and construction documentation phases, particularly when detailing timber-framed buildings, floor joist layouts, and complex structural framing plans for new builds or renovation projects.
