A 'Skylight' and a'Roof Truss' are 2totally different parts of a building. A roof truss is a timber or steel framework used to carry the roof cladding. A skylight is a panel in a roof which contains a panel of clear plastic or glass which allows the sunlight to shine into the room of the building.

What is a cantilever in a roof truss?
a truss that is anchored at one end & overhangs a support at the other end
Advantages of warren truss?
It is very light, and the equilateral triangles spread out the forces.
Why is a warren truss bridge used?
A Warren Truss Bridge is used to cross certain obstacles. The Warren Truss bridge is Constructed with equilateral triangles so, this relieves of Compression and Tension.
What size laminated timber beam is needed for a 23 foot clear span under a 15 foot roof in between load bearing walls?
38 feet longIt is not possible to give a definite answer without more detail. The construction and type of roof will determine the load (weight) bearing on the beam, and factors such as wind load and earthquake load, and the way the roof bears on the beam (truss/point load/distributed load) will all affect the sizing.
What is sawtooth trusses?
A truss made with one top chord steeper than the other, usually to add windows is called a sawtooth truss
What is the overhang on a roof truss?
Each roof truss is structurally designed for a particular situation. Where a truss overhangs or extends beyond a supporting wall, so that the truss is partly cantilevered (e.g. in a deep eave), the calculations by the truss designer will take this into account.
What is the use of northlight roof truss?

What is a cantilever in a roof truss?

What are the key considerations when designing a top chord truss for a roof structure?
When designing a top chord truss for a roof structure, key considerations include the span of the truss, the load it will bear, the material used, the pitch of the roof, and any additional support needed for stability. It is important to ensure that the truss is structurally sound and able to support the weight of the roof and any potential snow or wind loads.
How to build a roof truss effectively and efficiently?
To build a roof truss effectively and efficiently, start by designing the truss using a computer software or by hand. Then, gather the necessary materials such as lumber and metal connectors. Next, assemble the truss on a flat surface following the design specifications. Use a nail gun or screws to secure the joints. Finally, lift the truss into place on the roof and secure it to the walls and support beams.
A real life example of an obtuse triangle?

What is the roof truss is made out of?
Usually Fir or Yellow Pine.
What is better a roof truss or rafter?
They each have their place, but on the same style roof, trusses would be stronger.
What is a pratt truss bridge?
A roof truss with vertical web members to take tension forces and with angled braces to take compression
A framework that is used to help support the construction of a sloped roof?
