You manually create ceiling planes and set their baseline height as you desire.

..or you can add an 'air gap' under the rafters in the roof structure dialog box. Curious, why would you want a space between the drywall and the rafters? How would you mount the drywall if not to the rafters? Might be missing something.

There's a bunch of vids relating to building with trusses. Well worth the time.

If you are doing parallel chord trusses at 16" depth, simply set your roof structure up that way, with 16" deep rafters.  Chief will position the drywll ceilings and your envelope is all set for your trusses.

 

Chief does not generate truss framing.  You do it, manually.  Watch some training videos.  Do NOT set roofs to auto-frame.

 

Place all trusses where they belong.  I set the ridge size in the framing spec dialog to 2x4, so when I autoframe the roof all the ridge and valley fill gets placed.  Autoframe will place all the subfascia per your size specs.

 

The only time you draw ceiling planes is when you're doing ceilings that aren't flat and pitches don't match roofs above.
