Tekla Structure Issue: Purlin Arrangement

Hello again everyone,


I am about to model in purlins and was hoping to get some advise on the best way to go about it.

My thoughts are to model in the first purlin and split it at the support . . . I then use cold rolled overlap (126) macro . . . . I then use array to copy purlins along the roof plane


Does anyone have any advise on other alternatives such as a purlin spread macro or similar? I am using Lysaght products at the moment
