Stick frame overbuild on trusses

[Azyron99]

Basically what I want to do is frame a rectangle building 30' wide and 40' long with a truss roof and a 6/12 pitch.  Trusses running parallel with the 30' width.

Then I want to add a 24' wide section that intersects the center of the 40' wall but this section will be a 12/12 pitch and stick framed.

I see the overbuild checkbox but how do I get the software to frame the 24' wide roof on top of the trusses of the 6/12?

I realize that the pitch difference causes issues because the 12/12 roof will be higher at the peak than the 6/12 and will need to be cut back and the 6/12 framed up from the opposite side to meet the ridge.

I can manipulate the roof sections to mate up but in the framing view it has it framed up with valley rafters instead of overbuilt.

The attached file is a drawing I created when I had the trial version.plans.bmp

The software changed the trusses where the roofs intersect into a stick frame with valley rafters rather than an overbuild on top of the trusses.

I know I can frame it, I just don't know how to get the software to draw it.

Is it even possible with Home Designer Pro?

It is ONLY doable using Pro. Trusses are drawn manually using the "truss tool". There are other manual framing tools to obtain exactly the result you wish.

Depending on what year of Pro you have, trusses can be automatically built. Then you can take the roofs that are to be stick framed, change their framing type to "rafters", and it should rebuild them with overlay framing. It will be helpful if you update your signature to the version you have so it will be there for any future posts.
