rgardner Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Never seen that style of construction before. Just tilt up your trusses and throw some LP siding on it good to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Scott, YOU ARE THE MAN!!! ): I think real trusses are designed by State Licensed Structural Engineers and not by Drafters, Architects, Builders, Designers or developers and not by 3D Architectural software programs. Otherwise, I feel your pain, it often boils down to elbow grease and intention. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Gia Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Are your trusses not prefabricated? I can’t imagine site-built trusses having any kind of savings in time or money. If they are prefab then why do you need to draw the trusses? I mean, what carpenter is looking at your truss plan instead of the plans that are provided by the truss mfr. Just curious, not trying to be facetious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNestor Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 @dshall - cardinal sin. Post the plan so we can see what you have done. That said - there are days when Chief can just make your life a living hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Sott, Is that the same building you had the same truss problems with, about a year ago? Did we sort it out or is it a new problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we sort it out or is it a new problem? It looks like the same situation I had with an X7 plan file. (Not a year ago) The trusses get all confused when there is an irregular exterior room situation. Just reading back through my support ticket now but would love to see the plan file Scott. If I recall correctly another roof plane below the main roof can also cause major issues still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAWZILLA Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I think the reason Scott needs the trusses shown is for sections and structural plans to be somewhat accurate. If he didn't show something ,he would catch hell from the plan checkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Hi Scott, This definitely needs to be fixed but possibly this will get you a temporary solution. Possibly Chief could fix this by allowing the "Exterior Room" to provide the necessary control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 The easy fix is to lock a good truss and multiple copy. An easy fix for this plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
