A question

I’m using R4. Lets say I have drawn a wood truss with steel brackets and the pitch of the roof changes, How can I just change the one dim and have rhino redraw not only the truss but also the steel bracket? Is there a plug in? Is this even possible in rhino? I know soildworks will do this automatically.

Any help is appreciated,
Thank you

Hi Dan,

One approach for this would be to use Blocks to define a bracket and trusses.

Another would be to use Grasshopper to design your truss and brackets parametrically.
You can download a version for RH4 here:
