How to Place Combined Wall Header at Top of Wall with Roof Rafters Hanging from this Header?

[Sascher]

Designing a tiny home with no eve with continuous raised raised seam metal cladding roof and walls.

Additionally have porch opening that extends upward to roof.

I would like to place a combined header for all openings (1.75"x9.25" LVL) at top of walls and use this header to hang roof rafters (1.5"x7.5") with Simpson LSSR26Z hanger.

How may I model this with Chief?

Unfortunately I do not have the answer to this, but if you re-post your question in the General Q & A Forum you will definitely get answers from other users.

Good luck!

Although you can probably get the the CA model to do this (maybe by changing the size of the blocking), this is best presented to a contractor and building department in a wall/eave section detail.

 

In other news, the prevalence of roof overhangs through history was developed for very good reason. The depth of the overhang has a direct relationship to the longevity of the wall.
