Allow the program to use negative roof slopes for shed roofs.
If you are designing a shed roof you need to show a negative roof slope. The picture of the installation would be a ledger with the rafters using a metal hanger and sloping down to a beam.
From a design perspective, this can be achieved by adjusting your Supports on the Bottom/ Flush type (can be changed to a hanger connector for both the top and bottom supports). For the connectors, this can be modeled by adjusting your connector parameters through the Options dialog on the Spans and Support tab. In that dialog, you can specify a sloped seat for a your connector. Is there an additional modeling condition I am not understanding?
