Line 64:

Each successive member may be analyzed for its internal forces, be they ''compressive'' or ''tensile'' in a similar manner. For a successful analysis of every member of the truss, it is imperative that every external force be included. Therefore it is advised that the engineer begin analysis by the method of joints at each joint where external forces have been resolved and work his or her way inward towards the center.

A Space Truss is a 3D plane truss. Made up of similar structural forms, the space truss is a much more realistic form of truss thatn the Plane Truss. Calculation and resolution of loads, external and internal forces is performed the same way, however, care must be made to ensure that all three dimensions are correctly examined and properly resolved. Once again <math> \sum \vec F = 0 </math> and <math> \sum \vec M = 0 </math>.
