Nice job .... can't imagine the time you have probably put into that roof design (trusses and roof framing) for your project.

For weeks I would sit in my lazy boy with TV on and laptop open with this project displayed. Plus hours of computer time too, but I do enjoy the challenge. I did not design home, but I have designed the building of the home. All framing and roof design are mine, originally this house was going to have insu-deck concrete floors and contractor was 2 yrs out so homeowners (I built original house for them in 1994) contacted me. Architects visited project 3 weeks ago for a walk through and they made me feel like a rock star, lol. I have been a Design/Build Contractor since 1984 and hope to keep rolling for many more years. THANKS CJ

Amazing roof, amazing trusses.  The images up top are the final output from the manufacturer using Mitek software or something equivalent?

 

The polar array of trusses that top the turrets are really something else.  I would love to roll this 3D model around in SketchUp for a couple of hours just to study the trusses and how they are designed and come together to form the roof.
