Version 2.1.0 - 11.28.2017 Added Northeast hip set trusses. Enabled advanced options for northeast hip sets. Added energy/raised heels for northeast hip set (3 variants: wedge, slider and vertical w/ strut). Added the option for open vs. closed end jacks. Added the option for a drop in purlin frame. Enabled a graphical user interface for Truss Set selection.
I've already downloaded and installed it, Nate! I'm really excited about it and can't wait to use it! I just finished a 30 day trial of Sketchup Pro and since I can't afford the thou this goes for up here, I'm continuing my project in Make. Which is - modelling an extant vintage (1905) train station. I've got two sets of blueprints to work from; the set registered in our City's Registry Office which is a set of elevation drawings, and a detailed plan of the express office complete with a materials reference and illustration of how to build its unique, almost Mandarin-style adobe clay roof. I'm just getting into your plug-in but I didn't see anything about an option for designing your own truss, or maybe altering what is there. Also, does the materials parameters allow for original sizes, you know, back when a 2x4 actually was? I'll send you some details & pics through your web page, if that's OK; and maybe you could give me some suggestions on a workaround... After it's all done, that's when we shrink it down to HO scale! Thanks, Paul

How would you make the trusses in the middle cathedral ceiling trusses? Or wherever in the truss set.
Haven't had a request for something like that yet, I will take it under consideration.
Where's Tutorial 4?
