HumbleChief Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Larry, thanks for the video, I was just commenting for the O.P., he seemed a little confused. I think the reason that the balloon frame stopped where it did was b/c , I believe you used a roof plane, and a balloon frame at the below wall ,will only take you up to the roof, if you had used a floor system as the roof, it would have gone full height. But if you have to create a slope on that roof, use a roof and do it using the go thru floor method like you did in the video. Awesome Perry, that's really helpful. I forgot I had the roof plane in there and good reminder to just use the floor system as the roof in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Good video's Larry. Raining here too so I took a nap. The Stacked Framing is typical here. Some use a Rim board usually 1-1/4" thick but most use a truss that ends with two 2x vertical legs & the outer leg is short by 5.5" . This allows for 2x6 for lateral bracing.

Looks familiar now that you show that pic. Been forever since I've been on a job using floor trusses. That would be pretty easy to create in a section view but I have no idea how to model it correctly, I guess you could frame it with 2 X 4 beams and such but a lot of work. Maybe I'll nap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 I think a roof will serve you better. Here's a brief video outlining Chief's roof behavior. thanks for the video!!...that is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 One more detail... Larry, Chief will always conventional frame an area where no trusses exist. This is good for us guys that have mixed framing, which I have a lot. In an earlier video you may have changes the floor framing for one room. Nice video, you are doing so good with those.
