△ Preliminary Truss Review
A time-saving preliminary package for your truss manufacturer — types, counts, and board footage from measured plan geometry.
Enter the clear span + pitch (pre-filled from the plans where detected) and we dial in the truss
types, counts and board footage from measured plan geometry. Lumber grade, final spans, girder
ply, connector plates and wind loads are designed & issued by the truss manufacturer — always.

📋 For your truss supplier — preliminary (review & revise)
33 roof trusses
Primary span 50′ · Fink (common) (measured from plan)
Pitch 5/12

Board footage 3,341.2 BF (on 2x4 chords)
Designed & issued by your truss manufacturer: Lumber grade & species · Final spans & member design · Girder ply · Connector plates — type, sizing & count · Wind loads & uplift reactions · Loading (TC/BC live & dead), design code & load cases · Deflection, camber, bracing locations & the PE seal
Types, counts and board footage are preliminary — a time-saving starting point for the truss designer to confirm, revise, and seal.
Floor-plan sheet auto-selected = page 4 (score-based: wall legend + floor-plan title + dimensions). Confirm.
Footprint reduced to bounding rectangle 50.0' x 64.0' from dimension chains — confirm wings/jogs; complex roofs need per-wing geometry.
2 interior bearing line(s) found by vision are treated as ADVISORY — the span is NOT auto-reduced (they may be non-bearing partitions). Confirm a bearing line in Plan Review to split the span into shorter zones.
Preliminary — not for construction. Final member sizing, connector plates, deflection, wind uplift
and the PE seal are determined and sealed by a licensed truss designer.

The right column is the truss manufacturer's design output — we hand over the measured
geometry, type, count and board footage so their designer starts from real numbers.

Floor trusses (flat / parallel-chord)
↓ Propose from plan
One span zone per bearing region — count is exact; depth is engineered (by designer).
Use Propose from plan to pre-fill from the footprint, then confirm.
◤ 2 interior bearing(s) detected → 2 span zone(s) proposed. CONFIRM each span before hand-off (a partition can read as a bearing).

| Floor gable end | 4 | 41.6' | supported-gable end (wall bears above) |
◤ Floor-truss depth not given — engineered (the designer sets it from span/load).
