I am trying to figure out the best way to do bobtail trusses/rafters in the roof mode.  I am at a little bit of a crossroads.  Do I just create a roof and do a bunch of holes and cuts, or do I adjust all the exterior walls to the height based on my slope and create a roof that adjusts to it all.  To throw even more craziness to it I would be looking to having some of the areas being exposed rafters (like a pergola) over some areas.

When I do a bob tail truss I adjust the heel height to where I want it and then adjust the wall to fit to roof.

This works for me. If some knows of a better way I'm all ears.

Can you not just change the heel heights? ..

I can.  I overthinking it as I want some of the areas to continue with exposed rafters.  I just did the math with the heel heights and put a hole in my roof and added the roof framing.  Thanks
