Does anybody have a good method for showing the webbing and gussets of open-web floor trusses in section that they would like to share?
It can be generic (I'll let the manufacturer worry about exact webbing), but its a pain to manually draw it in.

Edit: I've tried creating a linetype but wasn't impressed with results.

I usually just divided that top and bottom members to get the correct spacing. Than just connect the dots in a ziz zag. You can use either a single line or use a "wall type" with a width to match the width of your cross members and use the center of wall as the origin. This is the quickest way I have found.

Hello,

The best method I've seen, is to use symbols of the ends of the truss, and then connect them with straight dot-dash lines (or whatever linetype works for you).

I have a sectional view of open web trusses. I will mail it to you if youd like.
