Is that vertical HSS Column you drew a new column I should add in? or is that the vertical member of the existing bow truss? and are the X's spiders connections?
You will have to have a column; the bow truss (as discussed earlier) should not be taking on the loads from the floors. That is why they are framing into the 3D truss which then goes into the column. You will need one if not more. It is the best way to deal with this unless you have some incredibly deep truss in the corner condition.

ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the X's are quickly drawn spiders and you will likely need to affix spiders on the column element as well.
