Re: Questions about engineered lumber
The Open Web type Billy posted were the trimmable type and are not metal plate connected.

There are also Open Web Metal Plate Connected floor trusses which, just like roof trusses, cannot be modified in any way without the truss engineer designing the modification (or repair after an unauthorized modification or damage/breakage).
