Have there been any tool changes to prevent or change the orientation of the these trusses?  I'm using the latest 2026 version of the software.  I saw another user expiencing the same issue, and I'm not sure how to modify it manually.

Appreciate any help or guidance.4780D71C-AB7E-44AC-9FE9-BB2F77C91F16.thumb.jpeg.a7a1dcc86ea421afa9280324c1bd78de.jpeg

Thank you!  I tried the joist direction.  I't got me so far...Note the beam marked in Red in the attached and the partial trussses attacked to the odd cross truss marked in yellow.  

Once i disconnected the garage, removed the garage door (making it a Dance Hall)...it created the trusses just fine.  

Surely I can't be the only person in the world who has tried to build this design.  There's got to be someone willing to share their wisdom with someone struggling to learn.

Search the knowledge base for this topic for some more insight. I believe there was something posted a couple of months ago on this. You can use a bearing line where the rooms intersect. Then sometimes it takes a couple of the joist direction lines to get it to change. Might want to spend time going through the reference manual as well.
