Hip Roof Truss Layout 2

[jandlo]

1. When doing residential markups for an architect, how much information do you typically provide for complex hip roof truss framing when the trusses are delegated design? Design loads only? Design loads with common truss profiles (see fourth image)? Complete conceptual Layout? I figure, I'm not going to be able to come up with the best layout myself as it's a specialty that not in my scope, so I'm not sure what the point is for me to try to guess what the optimal configuration will be except to the extent required to determine loading to the remainder of the building. The third image is my attempt at a conceptual layout.

2. Can the truss layout in the image be done without interior supports, or will bearing walls/beams be required where the red lines are shown on the second image?

The truss mfgr and architect need to communicate directly. There appears to be some possibility for optimising the framing layout, but it will undoubtedly require some thought by both parties.

A lot of this may be location specific, but the attached is a layout that would likely be used around here that avoids interior bearing walls as requested.

The blue lines are girder trusses that may be built-up multi ply trusses. The rest are just standard type trusses required to make the slopes.

Thank you both for your responses. I intend to discuss with architect and suggest coordinating with the truss manufacturer. It does appear that it could be accomplished without interior bearing walls.
