Client Tools: Truss Spacing

Manage the frame spacing options customers can choose, and the truss carriers behind them.

Spacing options let a user choose how far apart posts and trusses sit. Truss carriers are the beams those trusses rest on.

Truss Spacing is one of the Client Tools in SalesView, found in the left menu under Catalog Editor.

Not available on shed sites.

What you can change

  • Which spacing options customers can choose

Good to know

  • Spacing is the maximum gap between frames. Frames are spread evenly, so the real gap is never wider than what you enter.

  • Truss carriers are a one-time setup, needed only when your post and truss spacings differ.

  • Switching an option off leaves it in place but stops customers from choosing it.
