Problem with designing vaulted ceiling shed roof truss and connecting roof to walls

[RobCameron]

Hi all,

 

I'm new to HD and I've been muddling with a problem with my retirement house for the last two days with no success. Most things seem pretty intuitive along with the tutorials but I'm having an issue connecting walls to the roof (see 1 & 2) as well as being able to specify a 16" parallel chord roof truss for a cathedral ceiling/shed roof on the secondary suite connected to the main house (see 3, it only shows as what appears to be a 2x8 rafter). I've turned off "Flat ceiling over room" and set the finished ceiling height to 6 1/2' for the room as I want the ceiling to start rising with a 2:12 slope from the hip wall. Any suggestions on how to go about this? Anything I do seems to affect the design of the main house roof. Does this shed roof have to be manually built? I don't have any hair left to pull out!

 

Thanks in advance.

you can draw manual Ceiling planes

Hey Rob, I downloaded your plan and for #1 open the end wall specification and on the roof tab check to make end truss above. On t #2 & 3 draw a manual ceiling plane and since you have auto build roof and auto framing it will give you the roof trusses.
