Yes, the top cord seems to be in the right spot, bottom cord up against it but no webbing, when I select it the highlight boxes indicate it is at the right height or size depth.

Managed to get the floor truss to be framing rather than OSB, the height is correct but no truss, just the top and bottom cord...

I'm trying to modify an existing floor and change from a 22" I-joist to a truss joist. It appears that the truss it there at the correct height but no webbing...

I have a top and bottom cord but no webbing in my truss for a floor

Piggy backing on this thread, how would you get truss joists, I have a top and bottom cord but no webbing?

how would one show this in a vertical ppst orientation in plan view? if i can add to this thread...

Thank you, I'm next going to attempt a Simpson product schedule and I would like to learn how to compress the size of an object, some of the strap ties are 18" and 24" and the HU products are only a couple inches.

Thank you Joe, you are correct, that wall does seem to be controlling the height. It is a wall with a 10' footing for a steep slope condition that engineer has spec'd.

How do you shrink a row in a schedule? I have a project with many different wall types so I created a legend from one of the CA videos but it's too tall...

Thank you Gene, I have done that previously with some elements but could not quite find the handle in this setting. I will try again.

I'm struggling to see my sill plates....does anyone know how to get them to appear in 3D and what default or setting I might need to change?

you are responding to a post from 7 years ago....just sayin....

Does anyone know the solution for this error, the "check knowledge base" referred to a read only file, but I don't understand what to do with that?

Is there a reset on the libraries when upgrading to x15? I can't get it to work....

is there a trick to using the library...?

Sent you a message.

That's a good one Rene!

Thank you, dealing with this very issue for a tight sloped lot with lots of restrictions on setbacks and heights.

I agree with all the sentiments regarding letting the truss manufactuer use their expertise. Im just trying to chase out a minor anomoly and make sure all is in alignment to the best of my ability and nothing is missed. Im comparing notes with the Grandview Sample house and i have some questions and short of speaking with Scott Harris I am trying to find a resident expert on Chief Talk.

Hello are there any truss experts on Chief Talk today? I'm trying to build a roof with mild complexity using trusses for the first time. Two issues that I am trying to work through. When I pull "multiple-copy" sometimes the auto feature is setting the truss to something other than the prescribed distance between, likely from some information below the truss and the other issue is the ceiling issue, see screenshot... So two questions? 1. What would cause the truss to build outside the prescribed distance between the trusses on a multi copy instruction and what is the beginning fix for this error message? Ty

It was definitely something related to one camera view and a second monitor plugged into the laptop via HDMI. The strange thing was closing down the file resulted in the entire menu bar disappearing so that the only next option was to close and reopen the program. To the degree that I am now able to help the community in some way if this is a known problem might we label and number these issues in a type of community "case number" to help CA diagnose the issue? Just typing out loud here. I'm running windows 10 btw, and will change that in my profile.
