Jambruins Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 I want the truss to have a bottom chord overhang (or cantilever as it is called in this picture). The right side is what I want. I do not want to top chord of the truss to continue on to provide the overhang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 You just need to raise the roof plane so that the truss builds between the ceiling and roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively to what Chopsaw mentions, is to raise your entire roof using the transform/replicate tool in the “z” direction by the appropriate height so that the bottom chord of the trusses cantilevers over your top plate. (sits on top) - Like 99.999999% of homes in the northeast. It’s important to check “trusses” in the dialog box that Chopsaw is showing, regardless of which method you use. I hope one day there will also be a checkbox for “auto-cantilever trusses”, because calculating the “raise from ceiling” box is anything but trivial. Nasa has yet to solve it.
