What it does
Choose your layout, set the span and trim height, and Truss Builder constructs the complete structure — chords, X-bracing, end rings, base plates, and ballast.
Manufacturer Catalog
Prolyte S36V and H30V, Eurotruss HD34, Tomcat G+, and ModTruss — real cross-section dimensions, bay lengths, and rated spans.
Four Layout Types
Linear run, goalpost, box/grid, and curved arc — each with its own span, height, and bay configuration inputs.
Curved Arc Truss
Set radius and arc angle. Each bay is a straight segment angled along the arc — correct geometry for overhead curves and circular rigs.
Ballast Blocks
Ballast block placement at base points with weight calculations — sized and positioned correctly for the span and uprights.
Load Summary
Weight per point, total load, and span warnings — calculated from the catalog data and your configuration.
Stacks & Combines
Build a goalpost, add a linear upstage run, layer a curved front — multiple structures per scene with no conflicts.
Everything Truss Builder does out of the box — no add-ons, no tiers.
