Space Frame (Space Truss) Integrated with Building, SEOR Seeking Resources

I'm working on a project where the we want to utilize a space frame canopy.

Im curious if anyone knows of any resources that would help me understand the process and interaction between building SEOR and Space Truss MFG.

Is anyone aware of some place I can find some general guidance? I know I will need to coordinate directly with MFG's but I'd like to have some homework done before I do that so that we get started on the right track.

I envision it something like a deferred submittal for OWSJ or similar. I provide loads and overall geometry constrains, connection details etc, and they provide a design and material for the space truss itself.

Anyway thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to point me in the right direction.

Cheers
