Mid-Height Bearing Floor Truss Tutorial

Recommended Posts

Has anyone here modeled a mid-height bearing floor truss in Chief?

 

I’ve attached a sketch for clarity. The truss is 24" total height, with:
14.5" bearing portion at the top (this sits on the sill)  
9.5" portion below the bearing  

 

So this is not a typical top chord bearing truss. The bearing occurs mid-height within the truss depth.

 

These are first floor trusses over a basement.

 

I’m specifically trying to understand how to model the bearing condition correctly using structure and framing settings so sections, elevations, and framing reflect this accurately.

 

If anyone has done this, could you walk me through the correct setup?
