Can I remove these studs in the truss? Image available.

Now I can’t bother to read through everything where people are guessing and whatnot, the lower beam only counteracts deflection, thus helping to stiffen and reduce the actual deflection of the roof, but not the bearing function if it’s attached as you write.
You can remove it, but there's a risk the roof might sink a few centimeters if there’s snow/ice over that specific area.

You can remove it without worrying about deformations, this beam contributes to nothing more than hanging up the ceiling.

Now I'm tired of reading through everything where people guess and speculate, the lower rule only counteracts deflection, meaning it helps to stiffen and reduce the actual deflection of the roof, but not a load-bearing function if it is attached as you write.
You can remove it, but there's a risk that the roof may sink a few cm when there's snow/ice over that area.

How are you thinking now? The stiffening provided by the lower rule can at most be a tiny %, if even that.
There are now so many who claim that it adds load-bearing properties that I actually become curious.

I try to avoid spoon-feeding people, but I completely agree with bossespecial that the lower rule lacks significance for the deflection.

Does anyone else think it provides vertical support? Everyone agreed that it didn't until now, right...

Hello everyone! I am incredibly grateful for all the posts.
When I started, I was reasonably confident in my situation (100% guesswork) and ended up being completely certain.
Today I tore down the studs that held the inner ceiling and moved them up a bit to gain ceiling height (and to lay more flex pipes for electricity).

Hello. On behalf of TS, I just want to inform you that the roof collapsed last night on the entire cottage and the walls fell apart. Unfortunately, the computer was buried, as was the fine whiskey...

Hi. On behalf of the OP, I just want to inform you that the roof collapsed last night on the entire cabin and the walls fell down. Unfortunately, the computer was buried, as was the fine whiskey..

I am touched that you are so concerned about my house.

It was probably heavily spiced with irony.

 

[elpaco]

I'm touched that you care so much about my house.

I couldn't help it since we've discussed this in such detail over pages. With all good intentions.

Hehe, small questions for some become five pages of forum posts for others.

That's also a bit of the charm _sometimes_. That you end up on detours.

I have only read a few pages at the beginning of the post, but it could be that when there is a lot of snow on the roof, it sags so much that the underramen lies against the wall, and then the underramen could help support the load on the roof.

But if it never makes contact with the wall, regardless of the load, it does no good.

10 cm of snow today and the roof held. But the fine whisky has been moved out. Got a bit jittery from @elpaco's post earlier.
