jbaehmer Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I am having an issue where my trusses are not extending all the way to the girder truss. At first I thought maybe the truss base was stopping it, but even without the truss base, I cant get my truss to extend. It stops at the valley of the roof. I am stumped. any ideas on what could be causing this?

NRST8TRKR Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Did you run the roof all the way through as if there is no valley coming into it or did you cut the roof to align in the valley? Looks to be the issue here.Didn't open the plan but I would start there. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRST8TRKR Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I have attached the plan with the roof plane adjusted and a pic of the resulting trusses.Ths area for the stairway will have to be ladder framed. The trussbase plane still needs to be adjusted. Have a great weekend.Ken Truss Problem.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaehmer Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thanks. that will help me at least keep things rolling on this project. I am still curious as to why it doesn't seem to function correctly, at least to me. I originally thought maybe it had to be with the second story.

NRST8TRKR Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 You are welcome. The roof plane has to be there for it to generate the truss. If the roof plane is cut to the roof plane of the roof coming into it it will generate rafters for a stick built roof with a valley. tgif,Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
