This is the answer to the question Where should the rafters rest – on the floor joists or on the wall batten?

With struts in the area of the reinforcing belt, the roof will not break, the vertical load is just on it and the tensile load will remain on the ends of the beams.

In this case, it will be easier to assemble the rafters and then the eaves. There will not be a spread on the walls (as when supported on the wall plate). On several rows of walls, the mauerlat may not be used (attach the beams to the armopost).

My personal opinion.
