David76225 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y-g-m-n Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I think under roofinf tab there is command to put in a little arrow thingy that will force joist direction. Joist direction kind dictates roof rafter (truss directon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David76225 Posted Wednesday at 09:08 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 09:08 PM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted Wednesday at 09:21 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:21 PM 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.
