Loft conversion steel ridge beam question

[Daverobs]

hi all, just about to start a diy loft conversion on my end terrace 2 bed 2008 build. W roof truss.
Question is I am unsure how to install the steel ridge beam (152x152 23kg calculated).
Do I install the specificied rafters onto original rafters, cut out the centre 2 supports of the w truss & jack the beam up to meet the rafters ?
Surely not every rafter will sit flush on the steel ?
I have plans & calcs but nothing to show how the beams actually sit.

Thank you in advance

Sorry just realised wrong forum

Sorry to be critical but:
How come you dont have a detail drawing showing exactly how the plumb cuts meet the steel ridge?
How come your plans were passed or made up without such an important detail?
Such a conversion from trusses to cut rafters is professional work not DIY work.

Hi, I don't know, should the building reg plans or struct engineer show detail?

I would love to pay someone to do it , but funds do not allow.

Thanks

I guess that's why you're here expecting it for free then.
