Self-supporting truss?

[an9ers]

Hello,

As the title states: is the upper of the two trusses below self-supporting?



The rooms below consist of a kitchen and a living room. The walls are built with "klent virke" 45*45 with 15mm tongue-and-groove timber, except for the wall to the right between the kitchen and the room which has 35mm tongue-and-groove on each side. No horizontal studs thicker than about 45 are present.



Roof plan:



What does the forum think?

Best regards,

Hello! It is not self-supporting, as the drawing shows, support is required from the wall and the beam that runs from the outer wall to the kitchen.

Thanks!
Suspected it was like that

Trusses made of framework are always self-supporting. The purpose of the beam hanging in part of the trusses' lower frame is unclear to me. Presumably, it has a stabilizing function. To be a load-bearing beam, it is very undersized.

So in your opinion, no support is needed underneath?
That is, the truss can bear the specified load on its own

Yes.
