Roof trusses that have settled

Hi ;) Now I need all the good tips and ideas you might have. I bought a cabin built in the 70s where 3 roof trusses have sagged; this is in the main area of the cabin where the span is about 5m. The ceiling sags up to 5-6 cm at most. Yes, the outer roof has sagged as well, of course; see pictures, but I think it can be raised to the correct level when we lay the new roof. Now we are going to replace the roof and plan to try to correct this. According to the previous owner, the trusses sagged a few years after the cabin was built, and it has looked the same since then. My question is then, the idea is to place joists on the floor inside and prop up the ceiling, any tips to consider? Do you think the trusses need to be reinforced somehow? I would be super grateful for all tips and thoughts!

I find myself in a similar situation.. So a bit curious about how it went. Did you figure out what caused the ceiling to sag and how did you fix it?
