Balloon frame gable end wall to roof plane.

[threewheeler]

I am rebuilding the garage on my house and replacing trusses on the main house. Pretty simple design, but I cam coming into  CA (X15) from a conventional 3d mechanical cad background (Autodesk inventor etc…), as well as a framing background, I don’t think either has done anything for me lol. I think I have gotten over the worst parts of the steep learning curve but I am struggling the most with how to build a full gable wall at the end of the vaulted ceiling before the attached garage. I didn’t realize when I ordered trusses that I shouldn’t use a flat bottom gable there, I get it, it is a hinge point in the wall, even though the garage is on the other side but I want to have no issues with inspection.

Because I have trusses coming already I want to balloon frame the wall to the roof plane and install fire blocking. So far I can build the wall flat topped with a standard gable truss on top(like it was) or frame the wall up to the ceiling plane. How do I do this in CA?

Is this what your wanting? Wall specification, structure and balloon through ceiling above.

If you want the balloon framed wall to have top plates positioned for upright lookouts, like what is shown here

 

 

You might have to edit the framing in the wall.

 

Shown is a scissors truss arrangement inside for 10/12 vaulted ceiling under a 12/12 roof, and 2x6 upright lookouts running from inboard truss to subfacia, the lookouts bearing on the wall plates.
