Version 3.3.5 - 10.06.2023
- Sheathing Vertical Offset parameters added for common and monopitch trusses.
- Cladding Vertical Offset parameters added for common and monopitch trusses.





By customer request.

This feature is already implemented within the Wall plugin so it is about time that I bring the Truss plugin up to speed as well.  I think these four parameters are self explanatory enough that I don't need a tutorial video but if I do please let me know.
