Scissor/attic truss combo pictures

[NoPressure]

I've searched and found a couple different threads but haven't really found the pictures I'm looking for.

I'm building a 34'x26' shop. Was planning on 12' walls to have a lift on one side of the shop. One of the builders that I've talked to suggested doing 10' walls with scissor trusses in the one bay where the lift would be and attic trusses the rest of the way. Rafters will run the 26' way and it will be eave entry so the lift would be parallel to the peak of the scissor trusses. Walls will be built on top of a 5 1/2" curb. He said I would have just over 12' at the peak of the scissor trusses.

I think that would work out fine for me as far as having enough room for the lift. I'm just having a hard time picturing how it will look. Anybody done this or happen to have pictures of a scissor/attic combo?

if you increase the roof pitch by and inch per foot it will also allow you to increase the ceiling pitch by an inch per foot giving you roughly another 13 inches. this would allow you to move the lift forward or backward and not have to be dead on under to peak-some lifts need 12 foot plus a few inches

also, your first attic truss at the ceiling transition should be a gable truss-this gives you a surface to screw the drywall to and nail on a cleat to staple insulation and screw drywall to complete the vaulted ceiling

I thought about that but I want to keep the roof as low as possible and the lift I'm looking at is 11' 10 1/2" tall. I'll keep that in mind about using the gable end rafter. Thanks.

That's the setup I was looking for. Thanks!
