I have been giving MPC floor trusses some more thought since this is the last big floor system type that is not part of the plugin yet. The example I've shown below was created with the existing floor truss module of the Truss plugin. I created three separate assemblies to give me the geometry needed to end up with this final model (some manual editing required, but doable in about 1-2 minutes). The common trusses themselves are not too much trouble the algorithm already exists for their geometry and placement. However I will need to come up with some new logic for the gable (ladder) trusses shown:

First look at a Nucor/Vulcraft (K Series) steel floor truss (top chord bearing):



Currently these are defined by 13 parameters but I may need an additional four in order to specify a top chord extension and the bottom chord extension on both ends.

It isn't too big of a stretch to also include some steel open web trusses/joists:
