would rest directly on the top chord of the Wall Girder. Both ways would provide the required
bracing. Specific design conditions will dictate how the top chord will be braced.
Adding Loads:
First, either transfer the wall girder truss from layout or create it from scratch in iDesign.
The loads will be applied in several steps:
- Step 1 will be to apply the loads from the upper roof and wall.
- Step 2 will be to apply the loads resulting from the lower roof.
- Step 3 will apply the supported floor loads.
Step 1:
Follow the steps shown below to calculate and apply the load from the 8'0" high bearing wall
which is supporting a 28'0" truss with a 4'0" cantilever and a 1'4" overhang.
Note: Do not select either of the buttons labeled 'Done' or' OK' until all of the loads have been
applied, i.e. after Step 3 is completed.
