Why not?
2. If you have a weird shaped building, can you have a situation where you have joists overlapping? Obviously you wouldn't have this in real life. But in this said weird shaped building, if you have an area of joists spanning 20' and next to it joists running parallel but only spanning 15', would it be ok for two joists to overlap where the two areas meet?
Are you talking about this?
No problem.
3. I read a comment about a beam being required under the clerestory.
Correct.
I thought you only need a beam only where the upper wall met lower roof.
That too.
If Part of the clerestory wall was sticking out (half above a lower roof, half not above a lower roof), would you need a beam at the portion with no lower roof too?
Yes.
