rck-tech Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Hi, I watched this video https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/9914/focus-creating-trusses.html around the minute 11:30 he shows how to make an attic truss. I followed it step by step. the end truss does not fully close, assuming it did close it; if I add a window or a door to the gable wall would the end truss re-frame and create the headers etc... Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Did you by chance just copy one of the others? If so you will need to Force truss rebuild (right top option). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for you response, I tried that, it did not work, I was able to click on the truss and pull down but if I put a window it won't cut the frame for the window. see video 2020-08-21 11-23-03.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 End wall trusses are a bit tricky. It might be best to post the plan file and have one of the experts take a look. It could just be a incorrectly positioned ceiling plane or something. I don't think chief will ever frame a truss for a window automatically though.

I don't think chief will ever frame a truss for a window automatically though. This was going to be my suggestion and my suspicion if it isn't fixing it by rebuilding it. The ceiling plane is probably going through the start of the truss at least which would cause the truss to build to the ceiling plane. If you upload the plan file as Chop says then someone can figure it out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
