Yep, that's basically it (though I've also see the top plates lapped into the header as well).

What I've done in the past (and seems to work the best) is simply frame it as a door opening (36" or 48") with a 4x4 (or 4x6) with the top flush with the double top plate.
A few observations ...

For gambrel attic advanced options I should also include the option for a crow's beak as shown in this model and the option to set the extension.
This would be a GREAT addition! Is there any logic to how far back along the main fascia that the crow's beak is supposed to merge in? Could this be an option along with the depth for the extension?
As an architect I know enough to get myself in BIG trouble before I get an engineer involved, and typically when I know I'm going to use a trussed roof I need to know some basic parameters - but most truss manufacturers/suppliers won't provide a design without an order (or a deposit). I really appreciate this plug-in (and bought it very early on) because it does what I need (and more) for a layout, spacing of outlookers/ladder framing at the eaves, webs, top chords/bottom chords, etc. before I (or the general contractor) has to pull the trigger with a manufacturer for the REAL calcs and drawings that are job-specific.
Thank you, Nathaniel, for one AMAZING plug-in! I wish I could convince more to purchase/support this amazing design tool you've given us!

As you can see there is still a tremendous amount of work that can be done here. To that end I've started a KickStarter project which if successful would allow me to devote at least 4-5 months of my undivided attention on the programming of this plugin:

C'mon everyone ... let's help Nathaniel - I've put my seed money up for him, what about you? This is a pretty amazing plug-in that can only get better and more amazing!
(and, just for the record, I've already paid (pretty early on) for a permanent license!)
Thanks, Nathaniel, for undertaking this!
I bought the G602 - it just didn't feel right and I went back to my Logitech MX Revolution. The G602 is just gathering dust now.
Sorry it's not what you were looking for, but at least we now know that 1001Shadows works with SU14 Pro! Hope someone else can chime in with a better solution for you.
1001 Shadows hasn't been updated but DOES work in 2014 Pro. Here's the website: http://www.1001shadows.com/en/
A man doing market research for the Vaseline Company knocked at the door and
Was greeted by a young woman with three small children running around at her
Feet.
"I'm doing some research for Vaseline. Have you ever used the product?"
She said, "Yes. My husband and I use it all the time."
"If you don't mind my asking," he said, "what do you use it for?"
"We use it for sex," she said.
The researcher was a little taken aback. "Usually people lie to me and say they use it on a child's bicycle chain Or to help with a gate hinge. But, in fact, I know that most people do use it for sex. I admire you for your honesty. Since you've been so frank so far, can you tell me exactly HOW you use it for sex?"
The woman said, "I don't mind telling you at all........... My husband and I put it on the doorknob and it keeps the kids out."
Around here it's called a "boosted tile" and is supposed to mimic an old, mudded tile roof. Roofers charge extra for it, and even Boral has created a concrete tile to look like it too (see here)!
Nice! Thanks for the resource post Kris!
I think that in the first image the door height is 8'-0" and the ceiling is at 12'-0"; in the second image I think the door height is 6'-8" and the ceiling is at 10'-0". But just my own guess.

DataCAD Pro $1,295 (LT @ $295)

The CTO and CEO regularly post on the Dbug forum and correspond with the end users - including phone calls! Won't find many Software companies that value their users like DataCAD does!
AND most of the new features are a direct result of DataCAD LLC listening to what the USERS want in the program and what makes it more productive for the users - NOT what the buzzword-of-the-day dictates.
I've been using DataCAD since '95 and use BricsCAD when I have to deal with DWG formats for documentation (both are most current versions). Presentation is via straight SU.
Thanks (from the Colonies) Paul - didn't see these when you originally posted!
Three blondes were all applying for the last available position on the Police Force. The detective conducting the interview looked at the three of them and said, "So you all want to be cops, huh?"
The blondes all nodded.
The detective got up, opened a file drawer, and pulled out a folder. Sitting back down, he opened it, pulled out a picture, and said, "To be a detective, you have to be able to detect.You must be able to notice things such as distinguishing features and oddities like scars and so forth." So saying, he stuck the photo in the face of the first blonde and withdrew it after about two seconds.
"Now," he said, "did you notice any distinguishing features about this man?
"The blonde immediately said, "Yes, I did, he has only one eye!"
The detective shook his head and said, "Of course he has only one eye in this picture! It's a profile of his face! You're dismissed!"
The first blonde hung her head and walked out of the office.
The detective then turned to the second blonde, stuck the photo in her face for two seconds, pulled it back, and said, "What about you? Notice anything unusual or outstanding about this man?"
"Yes! He only has one ear!"
The detective put his head in his hands and exclaimed, "Didn't you hear what I just told the other lady? This is a profile of the man's face! Of course you can only see one ear! You're excused too!"
The second blonde sheepishly walked out of the office.
The detective turned his attention to the third and last blonde and said,"This is probably a waste of time, but..." He flashed the photo in her face for a couple of seconds and withdrew it, saying, "All right, did you notice anything distinguishing or unusual about this man?"
The blonde said, "I sure did. This man wears contact lenses."
"The detective frowned, took another look at the picture, and began looking at some of the papers in the folder. He looked up at the blonde with a puzzled expression and said, "You're absolutely right! His bio says he wears contacts! How in the world could you tell that by looking at his picture?"
The blonde rolled her eyes and said,"Well, Hellooooooooooooo! With only one eye and one ear, he certainly can't wear glasses."
