attic vs. floor / rafters vs. trusses
I am building a 2 story building with a 10/12 pitch roof. The roof has two fake dormers and a window in the gable end for looks only. The problem I am experiencing is that the area above the second floor is appearing as an "attic". When I try to create trusses I get rafters (so that the attic is a usable space). In reality there is no attic it just has that appearance and I need trusses instead of rafters to appear on the plan. I should point out that I did use the "hole in roof" method of building the fake dormers. Perhaps this caused the area to be defined as an attic.
Thanks again for any help and advice.
