No roof plane Truss Error - but there is a roof plane?

I can't place a truss under the right side roof.   A truss will draw under the left half.   As far as I can tell the building is symmetric and there is a roof and ceiling plane for both sides and there is enough distance between them for a 3 1/2" top chord, etc.  I have tried manually drawing the planes but am getting the same result.  This is also posted on the home designer forum.

You must have a ceiling to build a truss.  You do not have a ceiling in the room.

Scott,

 

Thanks for the reply.   I had ceiling checked and still had this problem.   I lowered the ceiling back to 93" from 105" and unchecked ceiling as kind of a last resort this morning.  I figured that since I had drawn sloped ceiling planes then that might be sufficient for the truss to build.  Since you have opened the plan you can see that you can draw a truss on the left side whether it is checked or not.   It was checked when the room was built.

My bad...  you did have a ceiling plane.

 

So I went ahead and drew the trusses,  no problems

I doesn't seem to work for my HD Pro 2016 software.  Any chance you could post the plan after you fixed it?   My stamped drawing does not have a kingpost other than that it looks perfect.   Actually I probably wouldn't be able to open your file anyway.  Did you change anything else?

I changed nothing,  I am using X-9,  I  doubt you could open plan if I posted it.

Thanks again.  In your opinion is this a bug or a limitation?  I could upgrade but I would want to know that it would work.   I know I probably need to take this up with CA but I was just wondering what you thought?
