Truss object with overhang

Hello
Anyone know where I can find a good truss object which allows me to set overhangs:

I want to try to avoid using trussmaker or creating a new object as I find these to be relatively slow, especially when you're making lots of changes and trying different options.

In early stage of the sketch design, when thing are still going through lots of changes, I usually use the standard AC9 Pitched Howe Truss which is fully parametric. I then add the overhang with a separate rafter object using roof wizard as the 'Pitched Howe Truss' object does not allow one to set overhangs.

thanks

Does the Truss Set on Objects Online do that?
I've tried the demo of Truss Set. Unless its a limitation of the demo verison, it does not seem to have setting for overhangs.

However Truss-DL from the same site works very well with overhangs - It's basically what I was after.


Thanks for the tip
