Now that Version 12 allows for more "visible items" we can use lines placed in Drawing mode with the offset tool to help place trusses more accuratly

Once you have placed your lines you can switch to "Roof mode" and go to "Options > Visible items . and highlight the Shapes box" this will allow you to see the lines in roof mode and you can then use these to place your trusses
