Mixing Trusses with Stick Framing

After you have laid out all the trusses for your roof, the Build Framing dialog can be used to create roof framing that fills in areas not framed by the trusses.

Open the Framing dialog and check Build Roof Framing on the Roof tab. Be sure that the on-center spacing of the rafters is correct.

The framing produced is extended or truncated where it runs into a truss. The exception to this truncation is that hip ridges and common rafters at the end of a hip roof can pass over a drop hip truss.

Lookouts at a gable end are modeled to pass over a truss at the gable and end at the next truss in. Both standard and hip ridges are chopped into blocking between the trusses.
