I am trying to create a clear-span building that has girder trusses that support the roof. These girder trusses support a 3-piece truss-set perpendicular to the girder. I have no problem creating the girder truss, I just do not know how to make the top of the girder truss level with the top plate of the wall so the perpendicular roof trusses sits on the top plate of the wall and on the top of the girder. I have attached some drawings that I did in another CAD program just to illustrate the problem.
Does someone know how to move the top of a girder truss down to the level of the top plate on a wall? I'm wanting to use Chief generated trusses if possible and not just polyline solid or something like that.
How do you create a girder truss that sits on jack studs in the wall instead of on the top plate of the wall?
