good point w/ the 'chord' terminology and description...does a truss certification sheet have total height from the plate? I 'assumed' he was building this out of stick...hence Canning's response. May be the OP is stick building the roof and unfamiliar with the terms, or mabye not :blink:

I did a beachfront home that had trusses through one section. The shop drawings had all the dimensions on them. The only problem was, they were 6" taller than the shop drawings. Had to lower the entire section 6" by cutting the wall studs, after the trusses were set and the walls were sheathed.:furious: I won't ever set another truss in a home with height restrictions without checking them first.:whistling
