Hello!

I am in the process of changing the layout of the house, the idea is to open up a larger part of the load-bearing interior wall. I've tried calculating the strength using various software available online, but I'm sending out a question here before contacting a real engineer to see where I stand.

The idea is to open up between the red arrows I marked on the drawing, the roof has a slope of 23 degrees and is in zone 3, (snow load) and the roof is made of ceramic tiles.
The opening will be approx. 7.30m

What size of laminated beam do you think I need to complement? The laminated beam running through the entire house is 50x27cm. I expect to need a pillar in the center.
Single-story house
Roof slope 23 degrees
Width of the house 9.82 ext.
Length 17.22 ext.

Blueprint of a roof truss design with dimensions and specifications, including a 23-degree pitch and details for construction in a snow load zone.

I will provide more information if anyone is able to help me :)

Best regards, Kalle
