Terminal Hip End

This function can be used to create trusses at the ends of a hip roof so that triangular trusses are added to all sides. Triangular trusses are also added at the hips. If trusses have already been added to the end, the program will remove the existing trusses from the area. After selecting the eave at the end, you can select the truss parameters in the dialog box.
