My trussed roof structure concept, span 26′, has one little dormer feature. Sits on top of the roof deck, has a trussed roof, no heated space inside, and it is just a decorative pediment for a bumpout wall below. Look at the attached pic. The front and gable walls of the dormer bear on walls below. The barge rafters or fly rafters at the front overhang are supported by cantilevered roof deck. Do you think my truss guy will need to gang up any of the main roof trusses underneath into girders?

What you've got there is typical valley framing. No need for special trusses or girders.

Boss, that's a great tag line! I might borrow it if you don't mind.
