GeneDavis Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 We've a skylight with a plumb and "square" (I'd say "normal") sides to the shaft. I am unable to rotate a truss to do the normal side of the shaft, between the "girders" at the ends. Suggestions welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Try drawing it perpendicular rather than rotation after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 What I might try is to draw an appropriately sized roof and ceiling below, generate the needed truss, and convert it to a symbol. I can rotate the symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can rotate the symbol. So by normal do you mean the square side of the opening above the skylight ? If so then yes I think that would be the best option.

I think I would have placed a beam at the ceiling level, and the trusses would then notch to sit on top of the beam. Don't forget to factor in hangers!
