For some reason I am getting exceptionally large displacements (52&amp;quot;) even though my loading is pretty light (dead, snow, wind) total of ~100plf max.

I did end up changing the beam fixity at the ridge to pinned connections instead of how I accidentally had it as fixed but the deflection issue was still present. Guessing something is very off in terms of supports/stability but I have been unable to figure it out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
