woodman, 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. Thanks

Hokie, They are scissor trusses though,, but maybe with a flat clg or section on the bottom chord. But all the bottom chords are sloping, but may inforporate a flat section ......

I will try once more, sorryhttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=8d916bf0-23ac-4fcd-a463-a763d77b0de8&file=proj_X22.JPG

Wow...I didnt expect all the responses. Thanks everyone! Here are two drawing IM working on. I think the scissor trusses wil save money over conventionally framing the sapace. I also want a hight flat clg below the bottom chord of the scissor truss.It could probably be incorporated into the...

WHere to put girder trusses? SHOuld be simple right? Cheaper than conventional framing.? Rof is very steep ...around 15" rise per foot...interior slope maybe half of that. Thanks
