I am in the planning stage for my garage and I'm considering a ridge beam to get the height in the garage so I can have a lift there.
But no matter how I try, I need to have a column supporting the beam in the middle of the garage.
I would like to get rid of this.
Anyone have any ideas or tips on how this could be done?
Would it be possible to relieve the beam with angled struts like in the picture, for example?

It is possible to make 10 m long beams, but there will be large forces and dimensions, and the beam can, for example, tip over if there are mistakes in the sizing or execution. It is not a solution to undertake without construction experience.
Steel might be more suitable, or you accept the column.
Yes, it is possible to make frame corners, but your program cannot handle it. Among other things, you introduce a bending moment in the column.

Unfortunately, I suspect that the only way to get rid of the pillar without creating a completely different roof structure is to place a very large helium balloon above the building and anchor it in the middle of the beam to get lift there.
Three-hinged frames can be an interesting solution when you want high and open ceilings. You can also try rotating the gable roof 90°.
