custom truss webbing not showing in framing camera

[armfx89]

Hello

 

I made a saltbox garage, with roof pitches 5/12 and 12/12. I need attic trusses but it seems attic trusses can't be automatically generated for this type of roof. Hence I tried to manually edit the webbing of the truss to create an attic space. However the custom webbing doesn't show in 3D Framing view but just the envelope.

Dif you build the attic room before generating trusses?

As Gene is suggesting it may well be possible to auto generate that condition but I have not tried.  When manually editing trusses you can't use a "General Framing Member" as a structural component of the truss.  You need to copy and modify an existing "Roof Truss Member" from the same truss envelope. General framing members can be used to trim with but will not show in your framing view even if the layer is turned on.

You should be able to get attic trusses if you place the required interior walls and set the ceiling height appropriately.

Only the original poster can mark an answer as the "Solution" so if you can't make Michaels solution work give mine a try.
