I am having trouble figuring out how to put siding and trim on a truss. I made it an end truss and an attic truss. CA put the vertical studs but how do I add siding and trim to this. I need a 1x6 along the plane of the lower roof and hardi between.

Also how do I put a soffit plywood on the overhang cantilever trusses above the porch? 

thanks

Elliot

thanks I had thought to do a 3d solid as a last resort unless someone had more of an automatic suggestions.  I thought if I specified it as an "end truss"  and Chief saw that it was open, it would put siding on it. I appreciate the response.

You must have deleted the "Attic Walls" which is the best way to do those. I have an attic wall created that is 1.5" thick with no material and framing unchecked so that the sheathing, housewrap, and siding are all there, but the truss fits in and replaced the "wall framing".

 

Add that "attic wall" back in and all the other factors you mentioned take care of themselves.
