    Truss fail

    Just tried to add a truss in my plan...weird happenings, so I opened a new plan and tried it in a simple model, both in an area with a vaulted ceiling plane and one with a flat (default) ceiling.
    I can draw the truss, but the plan seems to lock up. I can get out of it by hitting the escape button, but the truss will not draw. AND neither will a rafter!! And, if I try to build the roof framing from the Build Framing dbx, same thing.
    YIKES!!!!
    This has never happened before...I am using X5, current.

    I've attached the simple plan.
    Would appreciate you all taking a quick look.
    Many, many thanks.

    I also did one across the shed roof and it built fine as well. Don't know what to suggest for you???

    No problem getting out of the plan after building trusses here either.

    thanks guys! I ended up re booting (should always be the first choice!), and it seems to be ok now.
    I appreciate your time!
    Happy Boxing Day!
