I agree but remember we are getting third hand information here.

More than once I've drawn something correctly and somewhere down the line there is a screw up, that's when the builder needs to call the architect and say; you know those 12" heel height trusses you called out came in at 3-1/2" heel height and now nothing lines up.

In which case it's the owner's call if they want to suffer a delay, and the builder's call if he wants to run into a hard nosed inspector lecturing him about freezing eaves in Michigan with squished down insulation.

Me?

I'm the surprised one, and I don't like surprises.
