Trusses are produced from straight and lean sections of material connected at various points to create a triangular shape. They are basically used to construct a larger structure, with the design and dimensions of the truss adding strength and wind resistance to the overall structure. Trusses can be crafted as planar trusses, which are two-dimensional in shape (most common for roofs and floors) or space trusses which are three-dimensional. A truss design can be conceived as combination of multiple trusses.
