What are the bracing options refering to? What is the purpose of a collar tie, specifically - stiffness?, uplift?, holding rafters together? Is there assumed ceiling joists holding walls? Often collar ties are recommended for every other rafter - is this an option? How does this module relate to the Roof Rafter module? At this time I don't have a help file available.
