Bob, I should have gone with my instinct and contracted with you to help me out with my plan. I ended up selecting someone because you were on vacation for a couple weeks. That other designer overpromised, way under delivered. They sold me the song and dance about how hard they worked, would work weekends for no extra to finish up my design. After paying, I waited 3 weeks for the first edits to be completed by the designer. A wasted three weeks ! After selecting a builder and notating the changes on PDF outputs, I contacted the designer regarding schedule. They they could fit me in on a particular day, great ! Not so much. They missing their own imposed promise date by a week and a half, then canceledthe contract, unfinished. Four an a half wasted weeks, $1600 flushed down the drain, unfinished design. Most of the changes I could have done myself, but elected to pay someone. What a mistake. In the four weeks wasted, waiting, I easily could have done everything. The project was canceled by the designer, unfinished, but the designer willingly took my money for the hours they "worked" !. Again, I should have gone with my instinct and contracted with you to help me out with my plan.

Which version of CA ?

Shayne, I tried that drag roof plan routine. didn't rebuild the roof planes, but rebuiltt he framing. I'm getting an odd truss layout towards the left hand side. when I look inside....hollow like a tim horton's donut.

I can build a truss manually and copy it but i'll be danged if I can get CA to auto draw. Any tips on how to "change the direction" of the trusses appreciated. I even altered the dimensions of my deck to see if that was driving CA choosing joists over trusses.

Hello Any ideas on how I get CA X15 to build scissor trusses? I made them about a couple weeks ago, then went on to tackle some other bugs. Now the trusses are being made like this. I did read the instructions (LINK) and made ceiling planes, as you can see below. But when I direct CA to make framing, I get these joists and not a scissor truss. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I'll post the plan to my google drive, PM me for link. Single story residence 3000 sq ft is created, drawing is to snap, foundation us whole feet where possible, inches where not. Just looking for someone to put the finishing touches on my *.plan and send my plan to a *.layout file with adequate pages and specs to get a building permit approved in SE Michigan. I will start my laundry list of outstanding issues I need to get buttoned up in addition to needing the creation of a *.layout file
