shingabiss Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I have the all the requirements for attic trusses set up and most trusses come out fine. Three trusses give me the error message. I've looked for differences near these trusses in room and other properties, no luck. Anyone else had this happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Yes that can happen and there is usually a reason for it although it is not always easy to resolve or diagnose. Are the trusses in the problem area the same as others in the plan ? Usually faster to just lock a good one and move it to the problem area. If not post the plan file and someone may be able to take a look and provide a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shingabiss Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 The trusses are multiple copies of the original attic truss. I will try what you suggested. . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have problems it is usually some kind of miss-alignment of the attic floor in relation to the living floor. First thing I check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shingabiss Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Still no joy. Submitted a case but without support agreement it goes to the bottom of the pile lol. Any more ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shingabiss Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 What is the point of the signature? V10 Tried but it's too big to attach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are V10 there are a limited number of people that will be able to help and If we can all see that at a glance then you will get better answers. 10 minutes ago, shingabiss said: Tried but it's too big to attach. Close the plan and Zip the file so it is under 25 MB or upload to a Cloud service and post the link or at least post some screen shots and maybe someone will take a guess.

No Support , so I guess V10 , not X10 ? (X10 = V20 shingabiss ) If you have HomeDesigner V10 that is a different Forum altogether.....this is why we ask for the Signature. The usual issue is the Roof and Ceiling are not generating properly, hence the Trusses won't build as they need both, to Shape them automatically.

I have attached the zipped plan file and the error screenshot. Ross Remodel zip.zip Hmmmm if you have X10 , I am unsure why you don't have Support (SSA) , I thought it was automatic with X10. The Error message is caused by the Attic Truss Setting as I don't think you have fully gone through the Attic Truss tutorial ( I see no knee Walls per the KB) as once I finished the Roofs I can do the Trusses no problem until I set the "Attic truss" in the Truss DBX. ( because I don't have the Attic knee walls either yet I think , too late now to keep playing.) As Eric pointed out there is an unneeded truss base in there too https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00933/creating-an-attic-truss.html?utm_source=Chief+Architect+Premier+20+x64&utm_medium=software&utm_campaign=Resource%3A+faq&utm_content=Error+ID%3A+272003072 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shingabiss Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Kbird1 I have watched the tutorial 3x. It does not specify knee walls, just walls to create the side attic spaces; the top being the cavity above ceiling, those walls are there. I have named room types for the spaces on either side as 'attic'. I have deleted the truss base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 No. 7 clearly states knee walls...... I don't know if it makes a difference in this case , but marking them Knee ( Roof Tab) and deleting the truss Base lets the 3 trusses at the Front generate properly 7. Select each of these two interior walls and click the Open Object edit button. On the Roof panel of the Wall Specification dialog, specify them as Knee Walls. creating-an-attic-truss.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need Attic spaces on either side, a flat ceiling below and a flat ceiling above. @shingabiss -- did you resolve your problem? Not sure ? all I did in a fresh copy of the plan was mark the walls knee and deleted the truss base and everything is fine , but I did the Wall>Knee change 1st .
