Hip Trusses: Herring Bone Hip

Framer

This function can be used to create trusses at the ends of a hip roof so that the main hip trusses are triangular stepdown trusses. Triangular trusses are added to the sides. If trusses have already been added to the end, the program will remove the existing trusses from the area. After selecting the eave at the end, you can select the truss parameters in the dialog box.

Note: There must be a bearing structure at the end of the truss area. This may be either a ceiling selected as a lower limiting structure, or an end wall selected as a bearing wall.
