you need a roof plane and a ceiling plane
within this "envelope" is where the trusses are built
beyond that I don't know much about trusses

Drake, I've found that as you get to the lower end of a hip the jacks won't draw in. I think this is because there is no ceiling plane only the roof plane and sofit. Just draw the short ones in using "rafter" instead of a truss.
