  1. That's why I wanted to get it right, the trusses were designed by company for a 24' gambrel-roofed garage and to meet snow load specifications and all that business. Since I have to use them, I wanted my model to accurately reflect the final product so that what I see is what I get. Guess I'll go back to Sketchup, seems pretty clear this software has been gimped to make easy money and it succeeded. Thanks for the help though.
  2. @DavidJPotter Thanks, that solved the first problem. Bringing it down to 97 7/8" worked too and matched my truss plan. Any idea on how to fix the roof to that it obeys my truss dimensions? I'm not sure what is wrong exactly though, it looks like the roof needs to go outward in each direction because it is passing through the attic ceiling, unlike the truss. @LawB10 That won't work unfortunately as I need to make rooms above my garage.
  3. Here is the plan. I am using Home Designer Suite 2016. garage3.plan
  4. I'm having trouble getting these knee walls correct in my gambrel garage plan. Even though they are specified as knee walls, they still go up through the ceiling and roof. The first attached image is an image of the second floor plan and a perspective view of the problem. Also, the ceiling inside of the upper room isn't flat and doesn't meet properly. I have a gambrel truss diagram from a manufacturer that specifies the interior framed dimension to be 14' by 8' 1 7/8" so even though my interior distance is 14' the roof is maybe too low or something, I'm honestly a bit lost here. You can view this issue in the second attached image. Any advice?
