Dormer framing detail
Dormer framing detail
(OP)
I need an ACAD framing detail for a functional dormer between trusses. Before doing my own, I am wondering if someone has already done one or have a good resource to check out?
A 'False-dormer' (non-functional) simply frames atop roof sheathed 2'oc trusses and changes the elevation view. I'm detailing 2'oc attic-room trusses where two of the trusses are spread apart 2' to make a 6' opening with two 2-ply trusses each side of the opening which support the
-Dormer rake wall
-6' span dormer roof trusses with overhang
-Ladder framed floor joists spanning 6'
-Valley fill framing atop
-Ladder framed (purlins) roof rafters
-Dormer end wall with window (sill & header)
-Any diaphragm strapping
