Pyramidal Hip Roof Trusses

[rktecto1]

Is it possible to get an engineered roof truss to satisfy a pyramidal roof design from a manufacturer like Alpine, or is it easier to use dimensional lumber to get the design required?

I find it more and more suprising what they can do with trusses. Go post in this forum. They can shape it however u want.

I know it is possible to frame a pyramid with trusses. There are limits to what your ceiling can be though. If it is a flat ceiling, no problem.
