    Have you manually created any? They must be drawn manually using the "Truss Tool" in Home Designer Pro only (no other Home Designer Titles have that ability).
    I recently answered this same question from a client of mine who uses Chief Premier, if you will look at your Display Options there are no "Red Plus Signs" by that layer name (Trusses) and that is because none exist yet.

    David, the OP did post a screenshot of their Display Options dialog, and there is a red plus sign in the Trusses layer. I just can't tell based on the screenshot whether it was perhaps accessed with the floor plan view active instead of the camera view.

    Kat, You are of course correct, I missed that, so they must be turned off (un-checked) in his camera views.

    Thank you, A lot of new users do not realize that there is a separate "Display Options" for plan view, camera views and Reference Views (three total, all different in terms of what is on and off)
