wolfrem68 Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 the auto rebuild is off. Wall height is 12' what is needed for the ceiling height to give space for the trusses. Trusses are 2 x 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trusses are 2 x 6. No need to turn it off at this stage ,especially on such a simple roof , it was on is my guess and made the 1st Roof , then you raised the ceiling height to 12 feet ( so walls went up) but have not rebuilt the Roof. I am thinking you may have dragged the walls up to 12ft on each side did you ? ( instead of adjusting the room height) , are they at their Default Top and bottom Heights on the Structure Tab? (at the top) , cos normally a roof plane will stop a Wall from moving up automatically and that doesn't appear to be the case here. If the walls are Auto and the Roof is Auto it should build the Roof at the correct height and thus the Trusses will build at that height too ( after a rebuild as mentioned previously). M.

wolfrem68 Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 I am about totally frustrated trying to aline the trusses with the top of walls. I have raised the roof line but the trusses will not move. Pic is below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My intent was to facetiously comment on Chop's willingness to go the "extra mile/millisecond" for us. It just struck me as funny, but I didn't mean to imply that you wouldn't put out the extra effort to get it right. At least I cracked myself up.

wolfrem68 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hey guys, I hate to be a pest but I need a suggestion. I have completed my pole barn drawing with the exception of the exterior wall sheathing on the gable end on the trusses. I have searched videos, references and the tutorials with no luck. I found the sheet metal layer after two days waiting for the files to download, (said my internet was slow, and times out) and finished walls. Thanks ahead of time.

I usually use an attic wall specifically defined with just a sheathing layer and siding that will attach directly to the gable end wall truss. Not sure about a pole barn. Would that be just strapping and sheet metal ? If so you would strap manually and then the wall would just be sheet metal or if you have trouble with the wall just use a p-solid drawn in elevation view. Sorry about the chatter. Glad you interrupted. If that does not work @ShaneK will be happy to tell you how he does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Normally trusses will automatically remove/replace any (Automatic) Framing they intersect or in their immediate area eg Roof Rafters or Walls, and the Reduced Gable End Truss normally replaces the Gable End wall's (Attic) Wall Framing automatically if it is placed correctly behind the Sheathing. This is just a Test Building which I put Trusses on only 1/2 the roof and as you can see the Reduced Gable End Truss (Black) has removed the wall framing seen on the other end of the Building. As you can also see there is no rafters between the trusses I made White for easier identification *** rebuild framing if you don't get similar results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I'm kinda late to the party, but is this roof structure the kind in which 2x4 purlins lay atop the trusses on 24 or 32-inch centers, and the ribbed roofing fastens to the purlins? Because if there are to be purlins, and the OP needs how-to advice on their modeling, let's have a new thread for that. Reading all through this makes me wonder if the OP has yet realized the basics of how Chief builds roofs and trusses, and further, how Chief's tools are most efficiently used to model a conventional pole barn.
