retiredmarine Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'm trying to add my roof to my design and I can't seem to figure it out. I've attached my truss design, it's a scissor design with the vaulted interior 20' wide, it has an additional 8' on each side to account for the porch and a mud room on one side. I've added my plans too in case that's easier. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Chris frame only 2X4 walls.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Here is a You Tube video of me placing trusses in your plan in Pro 2017, the method shown works the same in Premier as in any version of Pro: https://youtu.be/m9kBZdeVpzY DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredmarine Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 David... Holy cow man!! That was the BEST answer I have ever gotten to ANY question I have ever posted about any topic here or elsewhere!! Thank you! Of course there's always a rub.. here's mine... I have Home Designer Suite 2016 not pro... am I going to get anywhere close to this in suite? Another question might be could I open the copy of the file you have edited if you saved it as a "suite" version? would I loose your work? Again thank you!

DavidJPotter Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I made the video before you updated your signature. Suite (any version) does not have the ability to draw trusses much less a scissor truss. If you want to draw and edit trusses you MUST upgrade to Home Designer Pro. With Suite you can piddle around but with Pro you can really start doing construction documents. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredmarine Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 any chance Suite can at least show the correct style roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
