As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.

When you say hip girder set back to the line of the flat ceiling....and maybe that point is where the girder scissor truss is located that carries the mono-scissor trusses at the short end? That might work but will have to look at the clg height I want, but that will probably work.
