Roof trusses are a common means of support and load bearing.

Removing roof supports attic.

Dangle the bob over the line at one end of the attic with the string against the lower edge of the rafter until it stops moving. Use a plumb bob on a string to find the point on the upper cords or rafters of your trusses directly above the line. That can complicate things. Adjust the bob until it is directly over the line and still.

Remember any alterations to a roof should be undertaken only with an engineer. Attic trusses have a rectangular shape inside each truss. Look at this photo of the space created by attic trusses at my home.
