Designer100 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Chief Architect x7 I am trying to build a pole barn open carport and cannot get the trusses to go into it not rafter material not to be there underneath. Trusses need to look like the attach sketch from prospective client. Thanks if anyone can help.

Kiwideziner Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 You need to do several things to get the trusses to build auto. 1 set your ceiling height to 12' 2 give your trusses a top chord depth 3 reduce the webing from 25 1/2 inches 4 adjust the truss settings to give the look you want Basically the framing is a mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 You can modify the truss envelope. Don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for: Matt Pole Barn.plan EDIT: Plus everything Graeme said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer100 Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Thanks for the help. Rlackore does it need more trusses being 30ft than the four you showed 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Thanks for the help. Rlackore does it need more trusses being 30ft than the four you showed 4? If they are steel-plate connected light wood trusses, then yes. Of course, you will also need beams to carry the trusses. And lateral bracing, etc. All I was doing was giving you a solution of how to accomplish the truss profile - nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
