Thanks, Mr. boo1!
I allready have a copies of all that links. That`s why i`m asking, what exactly types of glue, nails, plywood or OSB should i use, according current standards.
Can You recommend to me some free software for wood truss? I have WinWood and its good enough for regular trusses, but hard for gambel or attic trusses and frames. RISA 3d is too difficult to me, GRAPE GBW32 doesnt work on my PC, IES sends free copy only in US/Canada.
Maybe You know free downloads of beta or free programs?

Thank You.

In the US the standard is pressed metal plates. If i see any programs ill post it.
