Bottom chord
The part of the truss that forms the bottom edge that joins the two heel joints and support the ceiling - also called the tie-beam.
Bracing
The members fixed to several adjacent trusses usually at a 45º angle to make the roof stable and to prevent buckling of compression members.Brandering
