Audi Roof.3dm (2.9 MB) Can anyone please help me with this roof? I want to make truss system for it but i think space trusses only works for rectangular shaped surfaces. please let me know if there is any other way to do this.

I see two areas on that roof that will collect water instead of shedding it, as it should. [roof_2025Jan13a] roof_2025Jan13a.gh (146.3 KB)

Can you please help me with this???

Do you want the trusses to meet the roof at equal horizontal spacings, or have the same angle always? The former is easier but looks a little funny. But also, just looking at this… why??? Why the shapey-shapey roof? Why outer-lying truss supports? It’s bad design.

If it can help with development. truss.gh (180.8 KB) [img1] [img2]

Oh…kay. I was interpreting truss a little differently here. :sweat_smile: But I think you did it right. A space frame is probably what he wanted.
