Sloped Trusses

[KELLI]

I am trying to place trusses into my project that has a "flat roof" with a 1/4" slope. I placed the trusses where I want them, but I can't find a way to have them match the slope of the roof. Anyone work with these types of roofs or know how I can accomplish this????

Instead of 'roof' trusses I have gone in to the structural pallet and done a "floor beam" system and used dimensional lumber 2X. On the beams you are able to slope them and even taper them. (found that out by mistake)

I tried this twice, thinking maybe I missed something the first time, but it didn't yield the results I was looking for.

I'll have to try this "floor beam" suggestion and keep my fingers crossed....

I have done flat roofs in the past. Use the attached truss and you can change the slope of the top cord by degrees. The heel height is also adjustable.

Thanks for the family. I need an open-web truss, so I think I can get what I need by modifying your family.
