   • In the New Layer Set dialog, type a short descriptive name for your new layer set, such as Roof Framing Only, and click OK.
     
     
     
     
     
3. In the Layer Display Options dialog, which opens next:

     If you do not see any roof framing or roof trusses in this view, you most likely have not yet built your roof framing or manually drawn any roof trusses.
