Loading Class Manual for intelliVIEW – Chapter 8
Loading #1 Hip Girder that Supports Additional Trusses
The girder truss
labeled HG5 (right) is
supporting #1 Hip
framing (end and
corner jacks) to one
face and 32' standard
trusses to the other.
We will calculate the
load applied to the
girder using the tools
available in iDesign
and also look at Load
Transfer from iModel.
Using iDesign to Manually Load Girder
Assuming that HG5 has been created, either as a New Truss in iDesign or as a truss loaded from
iModel, and is displayed in the iDesign window, we can proceed to apply the loads.
1. Select the Loading icon
2. Select the Add Load case icon
3. Select the Hip Loading tab from the dialog box.
4. By default the input field's entries match the current truss. It is a good practice to check
the entries to ensure they match your specific conditions.
