So, I am trying something that I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
I need to have an outbuilding with a completely open internal space. I cannot use scissor trusses as the span may be to wide for them. So, I want to make a rafter type roof using a beam underneath to help carry the weight. But...
I have attached a picture of something like what I want to do. Please note that the outside walls are, well, just that - walls. About 8 feet in height but on a 2 foot cement wall. The thing I am trying to do is put the posts up to the roof beam as shown. However, I cannot figure out how to "snap" the post to the bottom of the rafter. It will stay at the height I specify in the spec for the post. The post and beam that I want to accomplish is circled in red.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
And, yes, I searched this forum and the internet for a solution but could not find one.
Thanks,
F
