  1. Right. I appreciate the help, but in the wall framing detail window,  the only thing I have managed to do is drag members around. Nothing like setting the angle of the top plates or stud cuts or matching the top to a plane. I am not seeing much from the help menu on framing detail, and I have not found a decent guide that shows manual edits at all.

  2. I am rebuilding the garage on my house and replacing trusses on the main house. Pretty simple design, but I cam coming into  CA (X15) from a conventional 3d mechanical cad background (Autodesk inventor etc…), as well as a framing background, I don’t think either has done anything for me lol. I think I have gotten over the worst parts of the steep learning curve but I am struggling the most with how to build a full gable wall at the end of the vaulted ceiling before the attached garage. I didn’t realize when I ordered trusses that I shouldn’t use a flat bottom gable there, I get it, it is a hinge point in the wall, even though the garage is on the other side but I want to have no issues with inspection.

    Because I have trusses coming already I want to balloon frame the wall to the roof plane and install fire blocking. So far I can build the wall flat topped with a standard gable truss on top(like it was) or frame the wall up to the ceiling plane. How do I do this in CA?
