I was talking with another inspector about roof member terminology and what to call it in the report and I came across this.

btw: for almost 40 years I’ve known them as let-ins or outriggers depending on roof type…

That was a good link Barry and thanks.

I also found a truss glossary here that might help some on how to describe certain parts of a truss system in their reports.

Might come in handy for some.
