CJSpud Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Do you want "ribbed" (sometimes called delta rib) metal or "standing seam" metal? Note that in the library browser you can type in whichever type you want to use in the search box (see the image in Jim's response). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 With barns there will always be Manual Framing to do too, so while you wait you can do some reading on the KB , there are couple of tuts. on it about Barn structures : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01069/designing-a-traditional-pole-barn-structure.html and https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00598/creating-a-post-and-beam-structure.html This Test plan of mine may help you get some ideas too...

wolfrem68 Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Kbird1, Thanks for the pics of your pole barn. I had already downloaded the file on Traditional Pole Barn Structure and have followed the instructions. When I attempt to set the trusses in place they show up on the second girt and they look wrong, nothing like the trusses in you pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trusses ALWAYS build between the Roof and Ceiling plane so my guess would be that your Ceiling plan is at the default 8' or 9' Ceiling height for the Floor but you have raised the Roof ? just a guess cos you didn't provided the Plan or even a pic or two... edit: that KB tut is over a year old ( oct 2017) , so some of the settings maybe slightly different in X10 than in X9 , something I have come across before , eg in the Elevated Structures Tutorial which hasn't been update since 2015.

Kbird1 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 When you reset the Roof planes, you then need to select ALL the trusses , Open the DBX and check the force truss Rebuild box too. Is auto rebuild Roof still on? as those roof planes are not over your new Walls...., and i see trusses at correct height for those roof planes FYI.....you can't attach the .Plan file while the plan is open in Chief Architect.
