Ringos Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Wondering how to get a window to frame where a truss is. I understand the truss is in the right place. When I place the window, I thought maybe CA would frame around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitMan71 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Good morning. Was the house already framed when you put the window in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringos Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 I've reframed the roof several times trying to get the window to frame. The window is in an attic wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Looks to me like your trusses are going perpendicular to the roof pitch? If they were parallel, then you might be able to get an opening in the end if you don't use an end truss and just stick frame the gable wall? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8trim4u Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 You will probably need to create another floor. Draw a room and place the window. Name the surrounding room attic. Give the new room a name. Ceiling height and such. This will force a roof truss to build as a room truss. OR Delete that one truss and draw in you own. CA is powerful but not all powerful. We still have work around.
