capitaldesigns Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I doing a small practice project using trusses. When I do a cross section I see that the trusses are not sitting on top of the top plates, they are sitting about 4" below the top plates. I'm sure there is a setting that controls how the trusses sit on the top plates. I don't know what that setting is. I'm using X15. I attached a copy of the plan. Thanks, Mike Truss Plan.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 set the heel height to 3.5" or the depth of your bottom cord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Did you start with rafters then change to truss? Looks like you didn't make the adjustments (as Perry stated above) once you moved from rafter to truss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 It is a good idea when working with any release of Chief, to check out the tutorials available for what you will be doing. This one addresses building with trusses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitaldesigns Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 I was following along with this tutorial when I drew the plan. I did exactly what he was showing in the tutorial. His trusses sit on top of the top plates and mine sit below the top plates. I just called tech support. They said to copy the dimension shown in "vertical structure depth" and paste in the the "heel height". This will place the truss on top of the top plates.
