Truss won't snap to overhang
I'm trying to build a truss and it won't snap to the overhang. It snaps to the edge of the wall plates. Before I link the plan I thought Id just throw the question out hoping I'm just missing something. I know I can manually adjust the truss in the "Truss Detail". I was hoping someone could tell me what the problem might be.

Are you able to edit the truss to get what you want? Line breaks, etc. Routine truss editing.

Gene.... Yes, I was able to edit it in the truss cad detail, but it was really screwed up and took a few trys to get it right. (well,shall we say suitable) I basically rebuilt the entire truss. One side was completely mismatched from the other side. I checked the plate heights on both sides and lowered ceiling planes to make sure they matched exactly from side to side and the truss was still off from side to side. I hadn't had this much trouble since version 10.08. It just puzzeled me why it wouldn't snap to either overhang. The one thing I didn't try was closing the program and reopening it. Sometimes that's the "silver tuna".
