Setout
Roof truss setout is about the process of correctly applying truss technology to roof shapes in the building design. The process is as follows:
- Use roof lines on the drawings to convert roof shapes into separate truss areas known as 'blocks'.
- Set the positions of key trusses in each block.
- Set the positions of remaining trusses.
- Determine where valley in-fills are required.
