Is the wall collapsing?

[Bananaosten]

Hey! I'm considering opening my kitchen to the ridge, which will be about 4.50 meters.

In the kitchen, there are 5 rafters. 2 of these rest on each wall. There are wall plates in these walls that the rafters rest on.

That leaves 3 rafters in the middle. If I don't have a beam going across the room, will the wall collapse?

The picture might help.

I don't quite understand what you mean.
Are you thinking of opening up a large hole in the attic floor?
Unfortunately, it can't be done just like that because the bottom chord of the trusses is there. If you cut this, the roof will collapse like a house of cards.

Can't you keep them? then it will be roughly like in my picture.

Trying to draw a picture of my roof construction. The supports that I have drawn in the picture are placed on a separate beam. This beam is placed between two inner walls. This means that the pressure from the truss does not rest on the outer wall but on the beam inside.

You still need something that holds the whole package together. (If it's a standard truss construction)
I guess there are beams in the ceiling at each truss today?
That is, what is black in the picture here: http://www.takstolsfabriken.com/takstolsvensk.shtml
