Tutorial 27 - MPC Wood Trusses (13:25 min.)

Looks like I'm about 95% there with floor trusses:



The only issue appears to be what happens when ribbon boards are enabled and you have an inside corner as shown. I probably need to add in some additional logic to eliminate the slot for the ribbon board in these cases.

This isn't really about building just yet but I thought this was the best place to ask. I've been doing some reading about financing the purchase of land. I already have the lot picked out and it is in a gated development, with water and power already. I'm just having trouble sorting out the lender stuff. I read many national lender don't do land purchases and it's better to go local, as they know the area.
I also read that many land loans require 25-50% down for raw land loans but land that is developed or finished (roads, water and power access) down payments can be as little as 10-20%. I am now finding a lot of variation among lenders in terminology. One I looked at just has "land loans" regardless of development. Another requires 20% down for "land loans" and 10% down for "lot loans". There are also "construction  loans" of various types. It gets very confusing. I am looking at a lot in Idaho and trying to get 10-20% down. Any suggestions on a lender or other suggestions that can clear up my confusion?
