Combination of roof trusses and conventional roof framing

[capitaldesigns]

I'm new to Chief. I'm using X8

 

I'm working on my first project using Chief. I will be adding a 4 small room addition to a one story residence.

 

The existing house is framed with roof trusses. There are 2 existing small room additions, each with conventional

roof framing. The 4 new addition will be framed with conventional framing as well.

 

My question is how do I show the combination of roof trusses and conventional roof framing, then showing 4 new

additions with conventional roof framing?

 

I have view a lot of roof framing videos today. None of them show how to model a roof with both trusses and

conventional roof framing.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

Start by building your trusses first then do your conventional framing with build roof and fix any custom stuff manually. Ask specific questions when you get stuck. Just go for it and "ctrl Z" if something does not look good and try again.

I will try that right now.

 

Thank you,

Chief will conventionally frame any area that doesn't have trusses automatically. My contractor clients just don't ever want to use trusses even if the existing has trusses. It takes to much time to set trusses up for them.
