Program and method for locating fasteners

摘要

A method and system for determining fastener locations at the joints of chord and web members of a roof truss determines an allowable area within which fasteners can be placed at the joints. Fastener locations within the allowable areas are determined, and additional information is associated with each fastener location. The additional information may include a fastener installation parameter than can be compared to a parameter measured during installation of the fastener to determine if the fastener has been properly installed. The fastener locations within the allowable area may be arranged to form a non-linear zig-zag pattern.
