Working with AI

Let an AI design or change your truss, then bring its answer back into Truzme

Last updated 2026-09-18

AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, …) can read and write your truss as text, using Project code. There are two ways to move a truss between Truzme and the AI: copy & paste on the canvas, or the Project code panel.

Start with the format guide

The AI needs to know the format, and how Truzme checks a design. Start every chat with this link:

For example:

If your AI can't open links, open it yourself and paste its contents into the chat.

Way 1: copy & paste on the canvas

1. Select what you want the AI to see (Ctrl+A selects everything) and press Ctrl+C.
2. Paste it into the AI chat and say what to change, e.g. "redesign this truss so no member buckles under the given load".
3. Copy the AI's reply.
4. Click the canvas in Truzme, press Ctrl+V, then Enter.

Pasting adds to your truss. If the AI changed something you already have, delete the old part before pasting. To design something new, skip steps 1–2 and just send the AI a prompt.

Way 2: the Project code panel

1. Open Project code from the panel on the right and press Copy.
2. Paste it into the AI chat and say what to change.
3. Copy the AI's reply.
4. Replace the text in the panel with the reply and press Apply.

Apply replaces your whole truss with the reply, so there's nothing to delete first.

Which one to use

Tips

• Big model? In the panel's ⋮ menu, Copy minified (fewer AI tokens) copies it with no spaces or line breaks, so the AI has less text to read.
• Check the size. When you give the AI a size, e.g. "10 m wide", it adds a dimension line for it, so you can see at a glance whether it got it right.
• Check the answer. An AI can be wrong. Look at the forces and the utilisation in Truzme before you trust a design.
