Using the balcony tool in floor trusses to create a drop in the floor truss can be used for sunken tubs, balconies and other conditions you may run into.
This is what your truss will look like before adjusting:
1. Select the truss you would like to edit.
2. From the vertical toolbar select Tools and then click on the balcony icon:
3. The Balcony dialog window appears.
4. Select the options you would like making sure to set the length you want your drop to be, then next choose the overlap length and finally choose how many steps you want to drop (step= 1-1/2" or the width of the chord).
Here are the final results after you hit OK to add. This truss was added with a 3' drop 6' of overlap length and 2 steps in drop which would be 3".
